1.4589 is a 14% chromium product with a small amount of niobium for elevated strength,

making it suitable for structural parts exposed to loads that demand higher yield points.

EN 1.4589 is a structural medium-chromium martensitic-ferritic stainless steel with enhanced wear resistance.

Due to its chromium content and its molybdenum alloying, it can be used in many mildly corrosive environments.

Because of its titanium content, 1.4589 can be welded in all dimensions

without becoming susceptible to intergranular corrosion.

Applications

• Conveyor chains
• Railroad cars

Special, new, chrome-nickel (W.-Nr. 1.4589) stainless steel, work hardened.

It has been developed in cooperation with a major stainless steel manufacturer for very special

applications such as pressureless combiners/inliners. Cold rolled to extremely high quality standards,

this material is the right answer to the most sophisticated needs. Its exceptional surface finishing

and flatness together with a very high working load and wear resistance are unique features.
