309, 309S and 309H stainless steel plate are chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel grades that are commonly used in environments with elevated temperatures.

Due to their high chromium and nickel content, these grades of stainless steel plate are highly corrosive resistant and have outstanding resistance to oxidation as well as excellent heat resistance. This type of stainless steel also provides excellent strength at room and elevated temperatures. The main difference between 309 and 309S stainless steel lies in the carbon content. 309S contains much less carbon which minimizes carbide precipitation and improves weldability. 309H differs from 309 plate in the amount of carbon as well. 309H contains more carbon than 309, this results in an enhanced creep resistance.

309 stainless steel plate is a high-alloy austenitic stainless steel known for its exceptional resistance to oxidation and heat. Comprising higher levels of chromium (23%) and nickel (12%), it provides outstanding corrosion and heat resistance, making it suitable for high-temperature environments. 309 stainless steel plate is commonly used in applications such as furnace parts, heat exchangers, kiln liners, and other high-temperature industrial equipment. Its excellent strength and durability at elevated temperatures, along with good weldability and formability, make it an ideal choice for demanding industrial processes.

Is 309 stainless better than 304?

The presence of nickel gives 304 stainless steel its corrosion resistance and makes it suitable for various general-purpose applications. 2. 309 Stainless Steel: Compared to 304, 309 stainless steel contains a higher percentage of chromium and nickel, typically around 23% chromium and 12% nickel.


What is 309 stainless steel used for?

Type 309 is employed for parts requiring both corrosion and heat resistance and oxidation resistance up to 2000 °F. Strength at elevated temperatures is similar to that of 18-8 Stainless Steels. This alloy posses excellent resistance to oxidation as well as high tensile and creep strengths at elevated temperatures.


What is the difference between 309 and 309S stainless steel?

Type 309S Stainless Steel is identical to Type 309 except for a lower carbon content that minimizes carbide precipitation and improves weldability.


Can you use 309 to weld 304?

Use 309L (including ER309LSi) when joining mild steel or low alloy steel to stainless steels, for joining dissimilar stainless steels such as 409 to itself or to 304L stainless, as well as for joining 309 base metal.


Why is ss316 better than ss304?

316 contains a minimum 2.0% molybdenum which makes it much more corrosion resistant than 304 however, as it is a more expensive element, generally makes 316 a more expensive grade of metal.


Is 309 stainless steel machinability?

309 has a machinability rating of 43% relative to AISI B1112 steel. Room temperature forming is suggested. Weld with AWS E309-16 covered electrodes or ER309 bare wire. Some Rod Coil is stocked as 309E which is EN 1.4828.
