EN 1.4301:20Cr13 is a stainless steel that is often used in the food, beverage and dairy industry. It is a popular choice in the manufacturing of kitchenware and cutlery, such as forks, spoons, knives and chopsticks. Also, it is used for the production of medical instruments and containers for acid-containing liquids, such as lemon juice and vinegar, as well as for the manufacture of surgical implants and dental devices.
EN 1.4301:20Cr13 is an austenitic stainless steel. It has a good resistance to acid attack, which makes it a suitable material for many medical applications. It has a high chromiumcontent, which gives it excellent corrosion resistance, high work hardening and low ductility. It has a low magnetic permeability which makes it suitable for sensitive applications.
The austenitic structure of EN 1.4301:20Cr13 makes it an excellent choice for welding, with a strong weldability. It also has a high thermal conductivity and an excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion. The material is also highly resistant to stress cracking.
In many applications, EN 1.4301:20Cr13 is used in combination with other materials, such as aluminum and polyethylene, to create a thicker, stronger material. This increases the material’s resistance to corrosion, while making it more durable.
EN 1.4301:20Cr13 can also be used in kitchens and other areas where hygiene is important. It resists biofouling and is highly resistant to bacterial growth. Furthermore, it does not produce a high amount of smoke when heated, making it suitable for food production processes.
EN 1.4301:20Cr13 is a versatile material and can be used for a variety of applications. It is an economical choice and can be found in a wide range of sizes and shapes, making it an excellent option for almost any project.
