Type 309 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel known for its high corrosion resistance and strength. Type 309 has the same machining properties as Type 304, and can be roll-formed, stamped, and drawn easily.
Due to its properties, especially its ability to work under high temperatures, you will find Type 309 in a wide variety of applications including:
- Boiler baffles
- Furnace components
- Oven lining
- Fireboxes
- Kiln Liners
- Sulfite liquor handling equipment
- Carburizing-annealing boxes
- Heat exchangers
- Aircraft engines
- Automotive exhaust parts
All Type 309 stainless steel has the same chemical composition, which includes:
- Fe 60%
- Cr 23%
- Ni 14%
- Mn 2%
- Si 1%
- C 0.20%
- P 0.045%
- S 0.030%
