1.4520, X2CrTi17, X1CrTi15 – description

Stainless steel with proper resistance to many organic and inorganic halogen-free compounds over a wide temperature and concentration range. It is not susceptible to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. It is resistant to intergranular corrosion.

Aqueous solutions of halides (chlorides, bromides, fluorides) can cause pitting, although the steel can withstand even relatively high chloride concentrations for a short period of time. It also exhibits some resistance to dilute organic and mineral acids, though general corrosion will occur, if the acid is too hot or concentrated. Same applies to alkaline solutions.

The steel is widely used in household appliances.

The steel belongs to weldability group 7.1 by ISO
