X5CrNiMoTi15-2 Ferritic Stainless Steel Introduction

X5CrNiMoTi15-2 (material number 1.4589) is a ferritic stainless steel specified in EN 10088-1. It contains chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and titanium, which provide improved corrosion resistance, particularly against stress corrosion cracking, and good weldability. The titanium addition stabilizes the structure and prevents intergranular corrosion. This grade is typically supplied in the annealed condition and is used in moderately corrosive environments, such as automotive exhaust systems, chemical equipment, and architectural components where a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness is required. It offers good formability and can be readily welded.

X5CrNiMoTi15-2 Ferritic Stainless Steel Chemical Composition

The chemical composition conforms to EN 10088-1:2014 for grade X5CrNiMoTi15-2 (1.4589). Titanium content must be at least 7 times the sum of carbon and nitrogen content to ensure stabilization. All values are maximum unless a range is given.

X5CrNiMoTi15-2 Ferritic Stainless Steel Application Introduction

X5CrNiMoTi15-2 is suitable for a variety of moderately corrosive environments. Its titanium stabilization ensures resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding, making it ideal for welded structures without post-weld heat treatment. It is commonly chosen for applications requiring good high-temperature oxidation resistance up to 800°C and reliable performance in chloride-containing atmospheres, where austenitic steels might suffer stress corrosion cracking. Typical industries and products include:

Product Applications: Automotive exhaust manifolds, pipes, and silencers, Chemical tanks and vessels, Building panels and facades, Kitchen sinks and countertops (economical alternative to 304), Welded tubing for heat exchangers

Processed into products: Exhaust flanges and brackets, Welded structural sections, Heat exchanger tube sheets and baffles, Baffle plates, Support frames in corrosive environments

Application industries: Automotive (exhaust systems, mufflers, catalytic converters), Chemical processing equipment, Architecture and construction (roofing, cladding), Food industry (conveyors, tanks, not for highly acidic media), Heat exchangers and boiler components

Notes:

Welding consumables should be selected with matching composition (e.g., EN 1600 E 15 9 L or similar for dissimilar welding). The material is ferromagnetic. For applications requiring higher toughness at low temperatures, ferritic steels may not be suitable. Consult the standard for specific product forms and thickness ranges as mechanical properties may vary.
