X2CrNiMo17-12-2 (1.4404 / 316L) — European Edelstahl for Chemical & Marine Service
EN 10088-3 · Published: 2026-06-11 · Updated: July 2026
X2CrNiMo17-12-2 is the EN 10088 designation for what is globally known as 316L stainless steel. The EN nomenclature encodes the composition: X (high alloy), 2 (0.02% carbon max — the 'L' for low carbon), Cr17 (17% chromium), Ni12 (12% nickel),...
X2CrNiMo17-12-2 ist der EN 10088 designation für was ist globally known als 316L stainless steel. Der EN nomenclature encodes der composition: X (hoch alloy), 2 (0.02% carbon max — der 'L' für niedrig carbon), Cr17 (17% chromium), Ni12 (12% nickel), Mo2 (2% molybdenum). Der molybdenum addition provides pitting widerstand in chloride environments, making dies der standard grade für marine, chemical processing, und pharmaceutical applications across Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wie tun I decode EN stainless steel names wie X2CrNiMo17-12-2?
Der EN naming system für stainless steels ist fully compositional. X = hoch alloy steel. Der erste number = carbon content × 100 (2 = 0.02% max). Chemical symbols in descending order von content. Der trailing numbers = percentage von jede element (17% Cr, 12% Ni, 2% Mo). So X2CrNiMo17-12-2 = niedrig-carbon (0.02% max) austenitic stainless mit 17Cr-12Ni-2Mo. Dies ist mehr informative als AISI 316L einmal sie learn der system, because es tells sie der exact composition directly in der name.
