Working with 1.4919 HF+AT
Is 1.4919 easy to machine?
Machines like 316 — gummy, work-hardening chip; use rigid setups, positive-rake coated carbide, 40–120 m/min, heavy feed and copious coolant to avoid glazing.
Can 1.4919 be welded?
Weldable by TIG/MIG/SAW with 316L/16-8-2 filler and low heat input; boron increases hot-cracking risk, so keep interpass < 150 °C, minimise restraint and control ferrite in the weld metal.
Can 1.4919 be formed, bent or molded?
Excellent cold formability with high work-hardening — allow extra springback and interstage anneal at 1050–1100 °C; hot work at 1150–1200 °C, finish above 900 °C, then solution anneal and quench.
What surface finishes work on 1.4919?
Pickle and passivate (HNO3/HF) after hot work or welding; electropolishing gives the best surface for steam/nuclear cleanliness. Anodising is not applicable.

1.4919 HF+AT — frequently asked
What is 1.4919 HF+AT used for?
1.4919 HF+AT is typically used for nuclear reactor internals, spent fuel storage baskets, neutron shielding components and chemical process equipment. In short: boron-modified 316 variant; neutron absorption with Mo corrosion resistance; nuclear specialty stock.
What is the yield strength of 1.4919 HF+AT?
1.4919 HF+AT has a typical yield strength of 265 MPa (38.4 ksi) and a tensile strength of 575 MPa (83.4 ksi) — weaker than 81% of stainless steel grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 5 listed tempers.
Is 1.4919 HF+AT easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated fair (40/100, better than 72% of stainless steel grades). Machines like 316 — gummy, work-hardening chip; use rigid setups, positive-rake coated carbide, 40–120 m/min, heavy feed and copious coolant to avoid glazing.
Can 1.4919 HF+AT be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated very good (72/100). Weldable by TIG/MIG/SAW with 316L/16-8-2 filler and low heat input; boron increases hot-cracking risk, so keep interpass < 150 °C, minimise restraint and control ferrite in the weld metal.
What surface finishes work on 1.4919 HF+AT?
Pickle and passivate (HNO3/HF) after hot work or welding; electropolishing gives the best surface for steam/nuclear cleanliness. Anodising is not applicable.
Can 1.4919 HF+AT be formed, bent or molded?
Excellent cold formability with high work-hardening — allow extra springback and interstage anneal at 1050–1100 °C; hot work at 1150–1200 °C, finish above 900 °C, then solution anneal and quench.
What is the maximum service temperature of 1.4919 HF+AT?
1.4919 HF+AT is rated for continuous use to about 600°C (1,112 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between 1.4919-AT and 1.4919 CW-HH?
AT is the default condition — standard supply condition for tube, plate and forgings — maximum corrosion resistance and ductility, basis of EN creep-rupture data. CW-HH: heavily cold-worked small-diameter tube or strip where strength, not creep life, governs; not used above ~400 °C. Yield strength is 270 MPa in AT versus 620 MPa in CW-HH.
