Overview

SIST EN 4631:2024 defines the requirements for Steel X4CrNiMo16-5-1 (1.4418) bars produced by air melting, hardened and tempered, with diameters up to 200 mm and specified tensile strength values of 900 MPa to 1,050 MPa. This European standard is a key reference within the aerospace materials sector, ensuring high-quality, high-strength stainless steel suitable for demanding aerospace applications. Only the chemical composition is within the document’s scope, while technical and testing requirements refer to established aerospace standards.

Key Topics

  • Steel Grade Coverage: Specifies requirements for X4CrNiMo16-5-1 (1.4418), also commonly known as AIR: Z 8 CND 17 04.
  • Processing Methods: Applies to air-melted steel bars that are hardened and tempered.
  • Dimensional Range: Covers bars with a nominal diameter (De) of up to 200 mm.
  • Mechanical Properties: Required tensile strength (Rm) from 900 MPa to 1,050 MPa, making it suitable for high-stress aerospace components.
  • Chemical Composition: Focuses on the precise limits for elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and others to ensure material performance.
  • Reference to Testing and Production Standards: Includes references to micrographic determination, ultrasonic testing, and mechanical property verification according to:
    • EN 4700-002
    • EN 4050-1 and EN 4050-4
