QuMed4551 Bobbin – Stainless Steel Laser Welding Wire 1.4550 / 1.4551 (X6CrNiNb18-10 / AISI 347)

QuMed4551 Bobbin – Stainless Steel Laser Welding Wire 1.4550 / 1.4551 (X6CrNiNb18-10 / AISI 347)

QuMed4551 is a niobium-stabilized stainless steel laser welding wire for heat-resistant apparatus and plant construction. The material 1.4550 / 1.4551 (X6CrNiNb18-10 / AISI 347) combines the corrosion resistance of the CrNi austenites with reliable protection against intergranular corrosion through niobium stabilization — even in the sensitization range after welding, without solution annealing.

Recommended base materials

  • 1.4550 — X6CrNiNb18-10 (primary material)
  • 1.4551 — X6CrNiNb18-10 / AISI 347 (primary material)
  • 1.4541 — X6CrNiTi18-10 / AISI 321 (Ti-stabilized, closely related)
  • 1.4301, 1.4306 — austenitic CrNi standard grades

Typical applications

  • Apparatus, vessel and plant construction (chemical, petrochemical)
  • Heating, furnace and heat exchanger construction
  • Exhaust systems and high-temperature components
  • Components under thermal cyclic load
  • Repair welding on similar stainless steels

Advantages of 1.4550 / 1.4551

  • Niobium stabilization prevents intergranular corrosion at weld seams
  • Continuous service temperature up to approx. 800 °C
  • Weldable without subsequent solution annealing
  • Highly cold-formable, excellent work-hardening behavior
