Benefits of Core 4622

Core 4622 is a highly competitive and attractive alternative to common austenitic grades. Discover the benefits.

Competitive and stable price

Excellent cost stability compared to Ni-alloyed austenitic grades and Mo-alloyed acid proof grades.

Good corrosion resistance

Localized pitting resistance comparable to common austenitic grades 304 and 304L.

Deep drawable

Ideal for deep drawing applications with high R-value and limiting drawing ratio (LDR).

Easy to polish

Virtually roping free for easy polishing. Improved surface properties due to low Ti content.

Good weldability

Low risk of sensitization owing to stabilization. Less distortion than in austenitic grades thanks to higher heat transfer.

Good machinability

Lower work hardening than austenitic grades, enabling faster machining times and longer tooling life.

Take another look at Core 4622 – a versatile, nickel-free grade for wide range of applications

The high typical chromium content of 21% gives Core 4622 good corrosion resistance, with localized pitting resistance as good as, or even better than, popular austenitic grades like Core 304L. Advantages also include less springback, making designing and shaping easier, and better thermal expansion than comparable austenitic grades. Find out more in our article.
