309/309S Stainless Steel Plate
309 is a high-alloy austenitic stainless steel with significantly elevated Chromium (Cr) and Nickel (Ni) content. This composition provides outstanding resistance to oxidation and cyclic oxidation (thermal cycling) at high temperatures, outperforming common grades like 304/310S. The 309S variant has a lower carbon content, which minimizes carbide precipitation during welding and high-temperature service, making it the preferred choice for most welded fabrications.

◉ PRODUCT SPECIFICATION


1. Standard Designations


  • 309: UNS S30900 / ASTM A240

  • 309S: UNS S30908 / ASTM A240 (**

  • EURONORM: 1.4828 (Approximately)

  • JIS: SUH 309 / SUS 309S

  • GB/T: 12Cr23Ni13 (309) / 022Cr23Ni13 (309S, approximately)

4. High-Temperature Properties


This is the primary application area for 309/309S.

  • Recommended Continuous Service Temperature: Up to 1095°C (2000°F) for intermittent service and 1010°C (1850°F) for continuous service in oxidizing atmospheres.

  • Oxidation Resistance: Excellent, due to high chromium content which forms a stable, protective chromia scale.

  • Cyclic Oxidation Resistance: Superior to 310S in applications involving repeated heating and cooling cycles.
