EN 1.4410 (X2CrNiMoN25-7-4) Stainless Steel
EN 1.4410 stainless steel is a duplex stainless steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the solution annealed (AT) condition. 1.4410 is the EN numeric designation for this material. X2CrNiMoN25-7-4 is the EN chemical designation.
This material is well established: the Further Reading section below cites a number of published standards, and that list is not necessarily exhaustive.
It has a moderately high embodied energy among wrought duplex stainless steels. In addition, it has a moderately high tensile strength and a moderately low ductility.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.4410 stainless steel to: wrought duplex stainless steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.

Alloy Composition
Among wrought stainless steels, the composition of EN 1.4410 stainless steel is notable for containing a comparatively high amount of chromium (Cr). Chromium is the defining alloying element of stainless steel. Higher chromium content imparts additional corrosion resistance.
