What is 1.4429 stainless steel?
1.4429 is the European standard designation for austenitic stainless steel, also known as AISI 316LN or UNS S31653. It features a chromium-nickel-molybdenum composition with the addition of nitrogen, resulting in higher strength and corrosion resistance than standard AISI 316.
What material is 1.4429 equivalent to?
EN 1.4429/ AISI 316LN (UNS S31653) is an austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum stainless steel.

Corrosion Resistance
1.4429 material exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in environments containing chloride ions. It effectively resists pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, making it suitable for harsh corrosive environments such as chemical and marine applications.
Machinability
1.4429 material exhibits excellent machinability, allowing for smooth cold working (such as bending and stamping) and hot working (such as forging and rolling). Its weldability is also relatively stable, making it suitable for a variety of processing techniques.
EN 1.4429 stainless steel price
Affected by fluctuations in the prices of raw materials like nickel and molybdenum, supply and demand, and processing complexity (such as special specifications), prices are approximately 10-30% higher than 316L.
