05Cr19Ni10Si2N Stainless Steel Introduction

05Cr19Ni10Si2N is a nitrogen-enhanced, austenitic stainless steel standardized under GB/T 4237 for hot-rolled steel plates and coils. The addition of nitrogen (N) and increased silicon (Si) content compared to standard 304 grades significantly improves high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and creep resistance. This material maintains excellent corrosion resistance and good weldability while offering higher yield strength. The microstructure is fully austenitic, making it non-magnetic in solution-annealed condition. It is specifically designed for applications requiring structural integrity and scaling resistance at elevated temperatures.

05Cr19Ni10Si2N Stainless Steel Chemical Composition

The chemistry of 05Cr19Ni10Si2N is engineered for thermal stability. The increased Silicon (Si) content enhances sulfidation and carburization resistance, while Nitrogen (N) acts as an austenite stabilizer and solid-solution strengthener, elevating mechanical properties. The carbon content is controlled to ensure good intergranular corrosion resistance after welding.

05Cr19Ni10Si2N Stainless Steel Mechanical Properties

Mechanical properties reflect the strengthening effects of Silicon and Nitrogen. The high-temperature tensile test values demonstrate the material's superior performance under thermal load compared to standard 304 (1.4301). The room temperature values are the minimum requirements for solution-annealed plates/coils per GB/T 4237.

05Cr19Ni10Si2N Stainless Steel Application Introduction

Due to its enhanced high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance up to 900°C, 05Cr19Ni10Si2N is ideal for fabrication by hot working and welding. It is specifically advantageous where carburization or sulfidation atmospheres are present, thanks to the protective silica scale. Machining requires tools for tough, work-hardening austenitic alloys.

Product Applications: Hot rolled stainless steel plates for pressure vessels, Boiler tubes and superheater coils, Furnace muffles, retorts, and conveyor belts, Automotive exhaust manifolds and catalytic converter housings, Pyrolysis centrifuges and thermal reactor shells

Processed into products: Welded baffles and tube sheets for heat exchangers, Flue gas dampers and expansion joints, High-temperature burner nozzles and lances, Cyclone separators and ducting flanges, Engine valve stems and seat inserts

Application industries: Industrial Furnace and Boiler Manufacturing, Petrochemical Refining and Cracking Units, Automotive Engine and Turbocharger Components, Power Generation (Heat Exchanger Tubes and Plates), Cement and Mineral Processing (Kiln parts), Food Processing (High-temp baking ovens)

05Cr19Ni10Si2N Stainless Steel Similar/Proximate Alternative Material Recommendations

Country/RegionStandardGradeRemarks
InternationalISO 4954X6CrNiSiNCe19-10Closest chemical analog specifically defined for high-temperature strength with controlled S and N.
USAASTM A240304H (S30409)Similar base chemistry but lacks the deliberate Silicon boost; lower high-temperature strength but more readily available.
EuropeEN 10088-21.4301 (Standard 304)Standard austenitic grade; may match ductility but significantly lower yield strength at room and elevated temperatures.
EuropeEN 100951.4828 (15Cr-12Ni-1.8Si)Higher Silicon heat-resistant grade offering better scaling resistance above 900°C, but different Chromium/Nickel balance.

Notes:

Special Considerations: Nitrogen addition increases the strength but slightly reduces cold formability compared to non-nitrogen grades. Interpass temperature during welding should be kept below 150°C to prevent hot cracking, and a matching or over-alloyed filler (like ER309LSi or proprietary high-Si fillers) is recommended for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Surface preparation must remove cutting scale utterly to maintain inherent corrosion resistance.
