446 1.4749 UNS S44600 is a ferritic heat resisting steel useful up to 1100°C.

446 stainless grade combines the following characteristics:

• Good oxidation resistance
• Excellent resistance to sulphidation particularly in reducing conditions.
• Much better than austenitic heat resisting grades due to absence of nickel
• Good resistance to molten copper, lead and tin
• Poor high temperature strength
• Weldable with austenitic electrodes

Applications include:
Glass making (float glass), metallurgical plant (copper processing), burners, annealing boxes, kiln linings,

thermocouple tubes, injection nozzles.

446 stainless products are also available in forms of seamless steel tubes, pipes,

ASTM A268 standard ( Sandvik 4C54 ).
