Austenitic stainless steel
1.4432 stainless steel
1.4432 is a low-carbon Mo austenite with slightly more molybdenum than 1.4404. Still the 316L family, a different EN line.

What it is used for
Pipe and fittings where the drawing specifies 1.4432.
Limits
316L / 1.4404 when 2 % Mo is enough. 1.4435 when Mo and Ni need to go further up.
Delivery
We source 1.4432 from European mill partners as round bar, plate, flat bar, seamless tube, welded tube, cut to your dimensions and ship the certificate with the material. Typical condition: solution annealed. Standard: X2CrNiMo17-12-3. From a single cut piece to larger lots — with no minimum charge, so you do not have to buy a full commercial length to get what you need.
Certificates and documentation
1.4432 can be supplied with a material certificate to EN 10204, depending on producer, dimension and the requirements specified for the delivery. On stainless, the analysis and the delivery condition are what the certificate shows. If a specific test or an ageing/hardening condition is to be documented, it must be specified before we order. EN 10204 3.1 can be supplied on a wide range of our materials.
