X6CrNiTi12 Ferritic Stainless Steel Plate/Coil Introduction
X6CrNiTi12, designated as 1.4516 in EN 10088-1, is a titanium-stabilized ferritic stainless steel. It offers good resistance to corrosion and oxidation, combined with improved weldability due to titanium stabilization, which prevents intergranular corrosion. The alloy provides moderate formability and is primarily used in thin gauge applications such as plate and coil. Its ferritic structure ensures good resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and the addition of nickel enhances toughness and ductility compared to straight chromium ferritic grades. This material is commonly delivered in the annealed condition and is suitable for automotive exhaust systems, catalytic converters, and other mildly corrosive environments where cost-effective stainless steel is required.
X6CrNiTi12 Ferritic Stainless Steel Plate/Coil Chemical Composition
Typical chemical composition according to EN 10088-1 for grade X6CrNiTi12 (1.4516). All values are in weight percent. Titanium is added to stabilize the structure and improve weldability by binding carbon and nitrogen. Nickel is intentionally added to enhance toughness and ductility.

| USA | ASTM A240/A240M | UNS S40910 | Stabilized 409 (Ti or Nb) with low Ni (≤0.50), lacks intentional nickel for toughness. |

Notes:
- Titanium stabilization ratio (Ti ≥ 6×(C+N)) is critical for intergranular corrosion resistance after welding; verify that actual Ti content meets the stabilization requirement.
- For thicknesses >6.5 mm, mechanical properties may differ; consult EN 10088-1 or supplier data.
- Delivery finish options: 2D (cold rolled, annealed, pickled) or 2B (cold rolled, annealed, pickled, skin passed on bright rolls) for improved surface smoothness.
- Machining: Similar to other ferritic stainless steels; use sharp tools and adequate cooling to avoid galling.
