1. DANS 1.4404 Acier inoxydable: Aperçu & Key Specifications

Let’s start with the basics ofDANS 1.4404 acier inoxydable—its composition, normes, et propriétés principales.

Composition chimique

LeDANS 1.4404 composition is defined by its low carbon content (maximum 0.03%), which prevents intergranular corrosion. It also contains 16–18% chromium (résistance à la corrosion), 10–14% nickel (austenitic structure), and 2–3% molybdenum (enhanced chloride resistance). Small amounts of manganese (maximum 2.0%) and silicon (maximum 1.0%) complete the blend, creating a metal that balances strength and durability.

Normes de l'industrie & Equivalents

DANS 1.4404 follows strict global standards for consistency:

• 1.4404 AISI 316L equivalent: It’s the direct European counterpart to AISI 316L, so they’re interchangeable in most projects.
• 1.4404 UNS S31603: The Unified Numbering System identifier, used in North America.
• 1.4404 ASTM A240 / 1.4404 ASME SA-240: ASTM/ASME standards for plates/sheets, et 1.4404 DANS 10088-2: European standard for flat products.

Exemple: A pharmaceutical company usesDANS 1.4404 acier inoxydable for drug storage tanks. C'estlow-carbon austenitic structure prevents intergranular corrosion, keeping drugs pure and meeting FDA standards.

2. Résistance à la corrosion & Environmental Performance

DANS 1.4404 acier inoxydable’s biggest advantage is its exceptional corrosion resistance—especially against intergranular and chloride-induced corrosion.

Key Corrosion Behaviors

• 1.4404 intergranular corrosion prevention: Its low carbon content stops carbide precipitation at grain boundaries, so it won’t corrode along grain edges—even after welding.
• 1.4404 chloride stress corrosion cracking immunity: Molybdenum and low carbon make it immune to stress corrosion cracking in chloride environments (par ex., saltwater, réservoirs chimiques).
• 1.4404 PREN ~23–25: This high PREN rating means it resists pitting in harsh chloride settings, far better than EN 1.4307 (AISI 304L).
• 1.4404 seawater corrosion rate: Moins que 0.1 mm/year in full seawater submersion—ideal for marine parts.

Critical Corrosion Considerations

• 1.4404 pitting corrosion resistance: Low risk in high-chloride environments (par ex., usines de dessalement), but avoid extreme concentrations (use super duplex grades for those).
• 1.4404 salt spray test ASTM B117: Shows minimal rust after 1000+ hours—far longer than EN 1.4301.
• 1.4404 sour service NACE MR0175: Approved for use in sour gas environments (high hydrogen sulfide), making it suitable for oil and gas equipment.
• 1.4404 contre 1.4401 sensibilisation: DANS 1.4404 won’t “sensitize” (become prone to intergranular corrosion) after welding, unlike EN 1.4401 (which may need post-weld annealing).

Étude de cas: An offshore oil rig usesDANS 1.4404 acier inoxydable for ballast systems. The metal’schloride stress corrosion cracking immunity etseawater corrosion rate de <0.1 mm/year keep the system leak-free for 15+ années.

4. Traitement thermique & Microstructure Stability

Proper heat treatment helps maintainDANS 1.4404 acier inoxydable’s corrosion resistance and microstructure.

Common Heat Treatment Processes

Critical Considerations

• 1.4404 carbide precipitation avoidance: Its low carbon content makes carbide precipitation almost impossible—even if heat treatment is slightly off.
• 1.4404 austenitic grain size ASTM 5–8: Solution annealing keeps grains small, balancing strength and ductility.
• 1.4404 cold working strain hardening: Cold working (par ex., flexion) increases hardness but doesn’t reduce corrosion resistance.
• 1.4404 magnetic permeability after cold work: May become slightly magnetic after heavy cold working, but this doesn’t impact performance.

Exemple: A heat exchanger manufacturer usesDANS 1.4404 acier inoxydable for tubes. They solution anneal at 1050 °C to ensurecarbide precipitation avoidance—tubes resist corrosion from hot coolants for 20+ années.
