Brief description
Klein designation:
1.4472 – IMPLANT
Class of steels:
1.4472 / F 1586 – Austenitic stainless steel for implants
Material number:
1.4472
Standard UNS:
RoHS 2 – 2011/65/EU:
Machinability:
Hardening capability:
Forming:
Cold working hardening:
Polishing ability:

Corrosion resistance:
Uses:
The corrosion resistance of this steel, mechanical properties and fatigue resistance indicate it as the material of choice for numerous medical applications in bone surgery, such as for internal fixation devices and endoprothesis, as well as for various others medical and surgical applications. The particular mechanical properties and reproducibility, make this steel a prime material for micromechanical devices.
This 1.4472 IMPLANT steel is PESR (Pressure ESR) remelted. Its N content is high, but the S and C contents are kept as low as feasible. The contents in Cr and Mn are also high. This steel contains also a small addition of Nb. The average value of its PREN indices is 35.8 against 28.9 for the standard 1.4441 IMPLANT grade. It indicates a very good pitting corrosion resistance. This steel does not contain any δ (Delta) ferrite and is off course non-ferromagnetic up to the highest amounts of cold working. Its high toughness renders the machining somewhat more difficult, requiring an adaptation of both the cutting conditions and the tooling.
