409 Stainless Steel Flat Bar

Stellanox Steel supplies cost-effective and high-performance 409 Stainless Steel Flat Bars, ideal for applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and excellent formability. As a ferritic stainless steel stabilized with titanium, 409 flat bars are widely used in automotive exhaust systems, heat shields, structural supports, and industrial ducting.

This grade offers a practical balance between performance and price, especially where aesthetics are not a critical concern.

What is 409 Stainless Steel Flat Bar?

409 Stainless Steel Flat Bar is a titanium-stabilized ferritic stainless steel with 10.5–11.75% chromium. Known for its good oxidation and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures (up to 675°C), 409 flat bar is magnetic and offers excellent weldability. It is commonly used in applications where long-term exposure to heat and moderate corrosion is expected.

Available in annealed or skin-passed conditions, 409 flat bars provide strength, stability, and easy fabrication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our FAQs for insights on materials, customization, and delivery.
Is 409 stainless steel rust-proof?
No, it has moderate corrosion resistance and may develop surface rust in highly corrosive or humid environments. It’s not recommended for coastal or marine exposure.
Can 409 flat bar be welded easily?
Yes, it offers excellent weldability due to its titanium stabilization and low carbon content.
Is 409 magnetic?
Yes, it is magnetic in both annealed and cold-worked conditions.
When should 409 be used over 304?
Use 409 when appearance is not critical and moderate corrosion resistance at high temperature is needed—especially in automotive or HVAC applications.
