GX40CrNiMo27-5

GX40CrNiMo27-5 is a material in the category Cast stainless steels, held under material number 1.4464. Its recorded composition includes C 0.3–0.5%, Si ≤ 2%, Cr 26–28%, Ni 4–6% and Mo 2–2.5%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Its recorded density is 7.85 g/cm³.

About Cast stainless steels

Cast stainless steels are stainless-steel materials produced by casting, combining corrosion resistance with the ability to form complex component shapes. Their composition and mechanical behaviour vary by grade, and they are used for corrosion-resistant cast components such as pumps, valves and process equipment.

This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering.

The scale is logarithmic, not the element’s raw share of the alloy — the only honest way to fit 0.01 % and 100 % in one picture, and it means every value here can be compared with every other.

Predicted transformation temperatures

This grade's composition falls outside the published model's validated range (a low-alloy composition window), so no transformation temperature is predicted here.

Physical & mechanical properties

Density7,85g/cm³Exact

An absent property means we hold no value for it — it is left out rather than estimated, interpolated from a neighbouring grade, or filled from a handbook. It does not mean the property is undefined for the material.

Similar grades — and why

Selection rule, stated so you can disagree with it: same number class 1.4, a shared category, and a published range for Cr / Ni that overlaps this grade’s. These are neighbours in composition space — they are not equivalents, and none is claimed to be interchangeable with this grade.
