1.4306 (X2CrNi19-11) Material Data Sheet

1.4306 is an austenitic chromium-nickel steel with low carbon content and a higher-alloyed version of 1.4307. The slightly elevated chromium and the slightly higher nickel content, 1.4306 is more corrosion resistant than 1.4307.

Main applications: Automotive Industry, Chemical Indstrie, particularly production and storage of nitric acid, Electronic equipment, petroleum industry / petrochemical industry, food industry, mechanical engineering

Weldability:      excellent

Machinability:  3 (1 = very bad - 10 = good)

Polishability:    yes

Corrosion class: 3-4 (0 = weak - 5 = good)

The processing with the saw is a mechanical processing of the material, which results in a significantly lower unintended deformation and increased hardness for the existing structure, such as the thermal cutting.

Thus, the machined workpiece has a homogeneous structure even at the edge, which does not change in the continuation of the material.This circumstance allows immediate finishing of the workpiece with milling or drilling . So it is not necessary to anneal the material or make a similar operation beforehand.
