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.

Key Features of 409 Stainless Steel Flat Bar

  • Stabilised titanium improves weldability and prevents corrosion between grains.
  • High-Temperature Performance: Up to 675°C, strength and resistance to oxidation are maintained.
  • Moderate Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for industrial and automotive settings.
  • Magnetic Structure: It is always magnetic due to its ferritic composition.
  • Economical Stainless Option: Less expensive than grades 304 or 316.
  • Excellent machinability and formability make it perfect for applications involving stamping or bending.

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.
