1.4420 S31655 Stainless Steel bar

1.4420 (UNS S31655) stainless steel bar, also known as 316LN stainless steel, is a high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel designed to deliver improved mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance. Compared with conventional 316L, S31655 offers higher yield strength, enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, and superior performance in chloride-containing environments. It maintains good toughness at low temperatures and provides excellent weldability without the need for post-weld heat treatment. 1.4420 stainless steel bars are widely used in pressure vessels, chemical processing equipment, offshore structures, and cryogenic applications where reliability and durability are critical.

• Cryogenic storage tanks and piping systems

Q1: What is 1.4420 stainless steel?
A1: 1.4420 is a European standard designation for UNS S31655, commonly known as 316LN stainless steel. It is a high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel offering higher strength and improved corrosion resistance compared with standard 316L.

Q2: What is the difference between S31655 and 316L?
A2: S31655 (316LN) contains a higher nitrogen content than 316L, which significantly increases yield strength and improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, while maintaining excellent weldability and toughness.

Q3: Is 1.4420 stainless steel suitable for low-temperature applications?
A3: Yes. 1.4420 stainless steel maintains excellent toughness and mechanical stability at low and cryogenic temperatures, making it suitable for pressure vessels, LNG equipment, and cryogenic storage systems.

Q4: What forms and sizes of 1.4420 stainless steel bar are available?
A4: 1.4420 stainless steel bars are available in round, square, and hex forms. Common diameters range from 6 mm to 500 mm, with custom sizes and cut-to-length services available upon request.

Q5: Can 1.4420 / S31655 stainless steel bar be welded?
A5: Yes. S31655 stainless steel offers excellent weldability using standard welding methods. Post-weld heat treatment is generally not required, provided proper welding procedures are followed.
