Type 309S stainless steel is a low-carbon version of Type 309. Because of its lower carbon content, Type 309S minimizes carbide precipitation, and improves weldability. Other key properties of Type 309S include:
- It can be easily roll-formed, stamped, and drawn
- Higher resistance to marine atmospheres than Type 304
- Good weldability and machinability
- Outstanding resistance to oxidation
Because of these and other benefits, Type 309S is utilized by many different industries for a number of critical applications including:
- Oven Linings
- Boiler baffles
- Firebox sheets
- Furnace components
- Most high-temperature containers
- Aircraft and jet engine parts
- Heat exchangers
- Auto exhaust parts
- Refinery and chemical processing equipment
One reason for these unique properties is Type 309S’s specific chemical makeup which includes:
- Fe balance
- Cr 23%
- Ni 14%
- Mn 2%
- Si 1%
- C 0.08%
- P 0.045%
- S 0.030%
