KLEINOX 4057 – DIN EN X17CrNi16-2 – AISI 431 – ASTM F899

USES AND APPLICATIONS

KLEINOX 4057 (AISI 431) hardenable martensitic stainless steel with high Cr and low S and C contents, and is ESR remelted. These features further a good corrosion resistance. This condition will be satisfactory if the parts are previously quenched, polished and passivated. This steel is well indicated for the production of medical, surgical and dental instruments, and for automotive, chemistry, petrochemistry, food and aerospace industries.
