309S Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate

309S Stainless Steel Sheet & Plate (UNS S30908,1.4833)

At DNYA Stainless Steel, pleased to offer premium 309S Stainless Steel Sheets & Plates, and plates that are engineered to provide exceptional weldability, high-temperature strength, and oxidation resistance.

 

Whether you’re sourcing for furnace components, heat exchangers, exhaust systems, or chemical processing equipment, 309S provides the strength and thermal resistance you need without compromising on corrosion protection.

 

What is 309S Stainless Steel?

309S stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel alloy with a low carbon content (≤0.08%), developed to provide excellent oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength while minimizing carbide precipitation during welding. It is the preferred version of 309 stainless steel in applications where welding is required and post-weld heat treatment is not feasible.

Combining heat resistance, corrosion protection, and reliable weldability, 309S is ideal for industries such as petrochemical processing, thermal power, furnaces, incinerators, and chemical handling systems.

 

Key Features 

  • Excellent High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance
    Resists scaling in continuous service up to 1000°C (1832°F).

  • Low Carbon for Enhanced Weldability
    Prevents intergranular corrosion after welding.

  • Superior Resistance to Thermal Fatigue
    Performs well under cyclic heating and cooling conditions.

  • High Strength and Ductility
    Maintains mechanical integrity at elevated temperatures.

  • Good Formability and Workability
    Can be cut, rolled, and formed with conventional tools.

  • Compliant with ASTM A240 / ASME SA240
    Suitable for pressure vessels and industrial fabrication.

Corrosion Resistance

  • High-Temperature Resistance: 309S excels in resisting oxidation and corrosion at high temperatures, making it suitable for applications involving prolonged exposure to temperatures up to around 2000°F (1093°C). This makes it ideal for furnace parts, heat exchangers, and other high-temperature applications.
  • General Corrosion: While it offers good general corrosion resistance, it is not as resistant as 316L in chloride environments. Thus, for highly corrosive environments like marine applications or where there’s significant exposure to chlorides, 316L might be a better choice.
  • Oxidation: The high chromium content provides excellent resistance to oxidation and helps maintain its integrity in high-temperature oxidation environments.

Fabrication Data

  • Welding: 309S can be welded using conventional methods like TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding. Pre-heating and post-weld heat treatment are generally not required, but proper joint design and cleanliness are crucial.
  • Machining: It machines well with standard tooling, though its toughness can cause tool wear. Use sharp tools and proper cutting speeds.
  • Forming: It has good ductility for forming operations, but high temperatures during forming can improve workability.
