1.4418 (X4CrNiMo16-5-1) is a low-carbon martensitic stainless steel alloyed with chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, designed to combine high mechanical strength with good corrosion resistance. It belongs to the precipitation-hardenable / quench-and-temper family and is commonly supplied in condition QT900 — yielding a minimum 0.2% proof strength of 900 MPa with retained toughness, making it significantly stronger than standard austenitic grades such as 316L while retaining adequate corrosion resistance for marine and oil & gas service.
Also known as S165M (BS), EN 1.4418, or DIN X4CrNiMo16-5-1, this grade is widely specified for pump and propeller shafts, valve stems, hydraulic cylinder rods, and offshore connectors. At Nifty Alloys, we stock 1.4418 round bars, plates, and flat bars with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates, available from our Dubai warehouse for immediate supply to UAE, GCC, and international destinations.
