Stainless Steel 409L Tubing

409L stainless steel tubing is ferritic steel that contains 11% chromium, 0.03 carbon and various other elements such as nickel, copper and titanium. This steel has excellent oxidation resistance making it popular for the fabrication of auto exhaust components and fuel systems. Its strength and post-weld workability make 409L suitable for structural parts, mufflers and more. The addition of nickel in the chemical composition gives it excellent formability, corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability. All of these properties make 409L an ideal candidate for cost-effective manufacturing and reliable operation both indoors and outdoors.

SS 409L tubing is widely used for its superior mechanical and engineering properties. Its high tensile strength, resistance to wear and corrosion, and excellent ductility make it ideal for applications in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, petrochemical, chemical processing, and manufacturing. It is particularly suited to high-temperature environments due to its superior heat resistance, while its low cost makes it a popular choice in cost-conscious industrial applications. Additionally, the exterior of this type of steel tubing can be easily cleaned when exposed to harsh chemicals or cleaners. The unique benefits of 409L stainless steel tubing make it an irreplaceable material within many industrial settings.
