EN 10088-3 X6CrNiCuS18-9-2 is an austenitic stainless steel grade with copper and sulfur additions, designed to provide excellent corrosion resistance, good machinability, and moderate mechanical strength. The copper enhances resistance to oxidizing acids, while sulfur improves machinability for precision components. Supplied in rod form, X6CrNiCuS18-9-2 stainless steel is suitable for chemical, marine, and general engineering applications requiring both corrosion resistance and ease of machining. This grade conforms to the EN 10088-3 standard for stainless steel bars and rods. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of EN 10088-3 X6CrNiCuS18-9-2 stainless steel rods. All materials are sourced from approved mills and supplied with controlled chemical composition, consistent mechanical properties, and precise dimensional accuracy in full compliance with EN 10088-3 specifications. Forms of Supply: Round bar, hex bar, square bar, rectangular bar, flat bar, rod Explanation of Designation (X6CrNiCuS18-9-2): • X – High-alloy steel • 6 – Approx. 0.06% carbon content • Cr18 – Approx. 18% chromium • Ni9 – Approx. 9% nickel • Cu – Copper addition for improved corrosion resistance • S – Sulfur addition for enhanced machinability Chemical Composition (% – typical limits): • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08 • Chromium (Cr): 17.0 – 19.0 • Nickel (Ni): 8.0 – 10.0 • Copper (Cu): 1.5 – 3.0 • Sulfur (S): 0.15 – 0.25 • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.00 • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00 • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045 Mechanical Properties (Typical, solution annealed): • Tensile Strength: 500 – 700 MPa • Yield Strength: ≥ 200 MPa • Elongation: ≥ 35% • Hardness: Typically ≤ 200 HB Key Features: • Austenitic stainless steel with copper and sulfur alloying • Excellent corrosion resistance in oxidizing acids and mild environments • Improved machinability due to sulfur addition • Good toughness and ductility • Easy to weld and fabricate with proper procedures • Non-magnetic in annealed condition Material Characteristics: EN 10088-3 X6CrNiCuS18-9-2 stainless steel rod combines corrosion resistance with enhanced machinability and mechanical stability.
