BS EN X5CrNi18-10 is the most important element of Ni, Cr, but it is not limited to these two elements. Specific requirements provided by the product standards. Common situation in the industry to determine that as long as Ni content is more than 8%, Cr content is more than 18% to BS EN X5CrNi18-10 stainless steel can be considered. This is why the industry would call this type of stainless steel 18 / 8 stainless steel reasons.


It is the most widely used stainless steel, heat-resistant steel. Equipment used for food production, general chemical equipment and nuclear energy.
