description
439 Stainless Steel Alloy Description:
439 Oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance is superior to Type 409 in areas where temperatures may exceed the oxidation limit of Type 409 or where aqueous corrosion resistance, particularly to chlorides, is needed.
Type 439 stainless steel is a Titanium-stabilized 17% to 18% Chromium ferritic stainless steel with improved weldability. Due to its high Chromium content, corrosion resistance is much higher compared to type 409, in a variety of oxidizing environments, from fresh water to boiling acids.
Stainless steel 439 does not require annealing after welding to restore ductility or provide intergranular corrosion resistance. This type of steel is often used in applications that require high formability, such as the automotive industry, providing good oxidation and corrosion resistance for exhaust system components including mufflers, pipes, and catalytic converters, as well as residential furnace primary heat exchanger and sugar industry applications as examples.
application
439 Stainless Steel Alloy Uses & Applications:
Applications include tubular manifolds and other exhaust systems with difficult to form exhaust components.
Note that 439 stainless steel can be work-hardened slightly to increase tensile strength and is not subject to Chloride stress corrosion cracking. It is often used where high thermal conductivity is required.
- Good general corrosion resistance particularly in fresh waters and mildly oxidizing environments
- Excellent welding properties
- High thermal conductivity coefficient
- Low thermal expansion coefficient
- Reflective color compatibility
- Good continuous & cyclic oxidation resistance
- Long-term cost advantages
