Stainless Steel 409 Tubing

409 stainless steel tubing is a high-performance alloy with excellent oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Utilized in several industries, this type of tubing owes its superior performance to its unique chemical composition. It contains 11% chromium and 0.5%-1.5% nickel, along with other elements such as aluminium, copper and titanium, allowing it to maintain high tensile strength and exceptional corrosion resistance at temperatures up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, 409 stainless steel tubing has superior formability compared to other materials, making it a popular choice for many applications, such as exhaust pipes and fuel systems.

409 SS tubing offers a wide variety of properties and uses, making it an attractive option in various applications. It is a ferritic, non-hardenable type of stainless steel with good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. In automotive applications, 409 stainless steel tubing is often used with exhaust systems due to its resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. Other uses include railing systems, outdoor furniture, chemical containment and architectural structures. This low-cost material also offers excellent formability and weldability, making it suitable for a wide range of projects besides those listed above.
