Stainless austenitic Cr-Ni steel with outstanding heat resistance and ductility at low temperatures. The mechanical-technological properties can be specifically adjusted by precipitation hardening. Good creep strength. The remelted variant (ESU or VAR) offers maximum homogeneity and improved corrosion resistance.
The material 1.4980 is an iron-nickel-chromium alloy. The additional alloying elements aluminum and titanium allow this material to undergo precipitation hardening (aging) through the formation of intermetallic phases. The addition of molybdenum increases the mechanical properties and resistance to creep at high temperatures.
At temperatures up to 700°C, the material 1.4980 offers excellent high-temperature strength and is clearly superior to low-alloy steels or common stainless steels. Components for high mechanical stress and creep strength requirements at ambient temperatures up to 700°C.

The material 1.4980 should be machined in the annealed condition if possible. Because of its tendency to work harden, a low cutting speed should be selected. The depth of cut should be selected so that a previous work hardening zone can be undercut. If possible, the cutting tool should be kept constantly engaged.
All information on the properties and recommendations on the usability of the material and its forms of delivery are given after careful research and to the best of our knowledge. However, no guarantee can be assumed. In the case of an order, they always require a special written agreement.
