Stainless DIN X2CrNi12 ( EN 1.4003 ) Steel Plate Hot Rolled
Developed originally as 3CR12 in South Africa, 1.4003 is a low cost stainless steel used as a cost
effective substitute for galvanised and painted carbon steels. It is termed a “utility ferritic” grade.

1.4003 stainless grade combines the following characteristics:
- Basic corrosion resistance (lowest grade classed as stainless steel)
- Composition balanced to give good weldability in thick sections in contrast to other ferritic grades
- Moderate impact toughness
- Moderate wear resistance
- Low cost
Applications have expanded to a wide range since the initial development to include:
Coach frames, minibus chassis, sugar beet handling, malting vessels, electrical enclosures,
fuel tanks, chimneys, refuse vehicles, fertiliser storage, rail wagons, conveying equipment for dry material,
lintels, laboratory work surfaces.
1.4003 is the lowest cost stainless steel. Provided aesthetic appearance is not an issue, it provides a good solution.
