1. Introduce
– Stainless steel developed for use in high temperature corrosion resistant applications
– Material with reduced carbon content to minimize carbides for improved weldability
– Excellent heat and oxidation resistance up to 1038℃ temperature range and can be used in sulfuric atmosphere
– Higher Cr and Ni additions provide better corrosion resistance than 304 and similar high temperature strength to 18-8 stainless steel
– UNS S30908
* 309 Stainless Steel Types : Related to Carbon Content
: All 309 series are heat resistant steels characterized by good oxidation resistance up to 1038°C temperature range
: Chemical composition, mechanical properties, and physical properties are the same except for the amount of carbon
: Higher carbon content improves creep strength and lower carbon content improves weldability
– 309S : Carbon content 0.08% Maximum
– 309 : Carbon content 0.20% Maximum
– 309H : Carbon content 0.04~0.10% Maximum
* UNS
- Abbreviation for the Unified Numbering System for Metals and Alloys
- Unified unique numbering system for metals and alloys
- A representative number compatible with metals and alloys defined in several material-related codes, including ASTM, AISI, ASME, AWS, etc.
* S : Heat and corrosion resistant (stainless) steel
