1.4529 steel is a highly alloyed austenitic stainless steel, also known as a super austenitic stainless steel. It is designed for excellent corrosion resistance, especially in very aggressive environments such as seawater, chlorides, and acidic media.
| Element | Content (Weight %) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.02 % |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.7 % |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 2.0 % |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.03 % |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.01 % |
| Chromium (Cr) | 19 – 21 % |
| Nickel (Ni) | 24 – 26 % |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 6 – 7 % |
| Copper (Cu) | 0.5 – 1.5 % |
| Nitrogen (N) | 0.15 – 0.25 % |
Because of this alloy balance, 1.4529 is used where conventional stainless steels like 304, 316L, or even 904L are not sufficient—such as:
If you need exact values for design or certification, you should always confirm with the relevant standard (e.g., EN 10088) or the specific mill certificate for the batch you are using, as different manufacturers can have small variations within these ranges.
