EN 10088 SS X8CrNiS18-9 is an austenitic stainless steel grade designed for excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and formability. This alloy contains 18% chromium and 9% nickel, with added sulfur to improve machinability without compromising corrosion resistance. It exhibits similar corrosion and mechanical properties to the standard 304 grade while providing smoother cutting, reduced tool wear, and higher productivity during machining operations. Its balanced composition ensures strength, ductility, and a clean surface finish, making it suitable for precision-engineered components. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of EN 10088 SS X8CrNiS18-9 Strip, along with Sheet, Plate, and Coil. Our stainless steel strips are manufactured using high-grade raw materials and advanced rolling technology to ensure uniform thickness, precise tolerances, and excellent surface finish. These strips are ideal for use in applications requiring high-quality machining, forming, and fabrication. Forms Available: strip, sheet, plate, coil Chemical Composition (%): • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08 • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.00 • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00 • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045 • Sulphur (S): 0.15 – 0.35 • Chromium (Cr): 17.0 – 19.0 • Nickel (Ni): 8.0 – 10.5 Mechanical Properties: • Tensile Strength: 520 – 700 MPa • Yield Strength (0.2% Proof): ≥ 210 MPa • Elongation: ≥ 40% • Hardness (HB): ≤ 215 Key Features: • Excellent machinability due to sulfur addition • Good corrosion resistance in atmospheric and mild chemical environments • High ductility and toughness • Good formability and weldability (except for some fusion welding limitations due to sulfur) • Non-magnetic in the annealed condition Material Characteristics: EN 10088 SS X8CrNiS18-9 Strip is an optimized variant of the standard 304 stainless steel, tailored for enhanced machinability. The sulfur addition forms manganese sulfide inclusions that act as lubricants during cutting, resulting in smoother finishes and reduced tool wear. While its corrosion resistance is slightly lower than standard 304, it remains suitable for most indoor and mildly corrosive environments. The alloy offers excellent strength, ease of fabrication, and stability under various operating conditions. Applications: • Machined fasteners, screws, and bolts • Valve components and fittings • Shafts, pins, and connectors • Precision-engineered parts and instruments • Food processing and general industrial machinery Conclusion: Ladhani Metal Corporation offers superior-quality EN 10088 SS X8CrNiS18-9 Strip, Sheet, Plate, and Coil with outstanding machinability and dependable corrosion resistance. Manufactured to international quality standards, our stainless steel products are available in a variety of sizes, finishes, and tempers to meet specific industrial needs.
