What is the equivalent of 1.4006 stainless steel?
The 1.4006 stainless steel grade is equivalent to AISI 410, UNS S41000, and X12Cr13. It is a martensitic stainless steel that can be hardened through heat treatment. It can be processed into a variety of practical product forms, including sheet, coil, tube, bar, and wire. For detailed chemical composition and free samples, please contact our factory today.
What is the equivalent of 1.4005 stainless steel?
416 stainless steel is a martensitic stainless steel grade that can be heat-treated. This grade is written as 1.4005 or X12CrS13 according to EN norms and as UNS S41600 according to UNS norms. 1.4005 material is very similar to 410 grade stainless steels.

|---|---|---|
| C (Carbon) | ≤ 0.15% | ≤ 0.15% |
| Cr (Chromium) | 12.0–14.0% | 11.5–13.5% |
| S (Sulfur) | ≥ 0.15% (for machinability) | ≤ 0.03% (for toughness) |
| Mn | ≤ 1.5% | ≤ 1.0% |

Are 1.4005 and 1.4006 stainless steels magnetic?
Yes, both 1.4005 (AISI 416) and 1.4006 (AISI 410) are magnetic stainless steels. They belong to the 400 series and are classified as martensitic stainless steels, which have a ferrite or martensite crystal structure, making them ferromagnetic and magnetic in all conditions.
1.4005 vs. 1.4006 stainless steel: Which has better hardness?
1.4006 (Grade 410) stainless steel has better hardness potential than 1.4005 (Grade 416) because 1.4005 is a free-machining variant of 1.4006 with added sulfur, which lowers its overall hardness in exchange for greatly improved machinability. While both are heat-treatable martensitic stainless steels, the sulfur in 1.4005 impedes the hardening process, resulting in a lower maximum achievable hardness compared to 1.4006.
