409 Stainless Steel Flat Bar
Stellanox Steel offers high-performance and reasonably priced 409 stainless steel flat bars, which are perfect for applications that call for good formability, high-temperature strength, and mild corrosion resistance. 409 flat bars, a ferritic stainless steel stabilised with titanium, are frequently utilised in industrial ducting, heat shields, automobile exhaust systems, and structural supports.
Particularly in situations where aesthetics are not a top priority, this grade provides a useful compromise between price and performance.
What is 409 Stainless Steel Flat Bar?
409 Stainless Steel Flat Bar is a ferritic stainless steel that has 10.5–11.75% chromium and is stabilised by titanium. In addition to being magnetic and having superior weldability, 409 flat bar is well-known for its strong resistance to oxidation and corrosion at high temperatures (up to 675°C). It is frequently utilised in settings where moderate corrosion and prolonged exposure to heat are anticipated.
409 flat bars are strong, stable, and simple to fabricate; they are available in annealed or skin-passed forms.
