1. Introduction to 309S materials

309S is a easily-cut stainless steel containing sulfur, which is used in occasions where easy cutting and high surface finish are mainly required. 309s is a variant of 309 stainless steel with a low carbon content and is used in situations where welding is required. Lower carbon content minimizes the precipitation of carbides in the heat-affected zone near the weld, and precipitation of carbides can cause intergranular corrosion (welding erosion) of stainless steel in certain environments.

Its high chromium content and nickel content ensure good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Compared with the austenite 304 alloy, it is slightly stronger at room temperature.
