Description
Type 309 is an austenitic chromium nickel stainless steel (.08% max carbon). Type 309 is employed for parts requiring both corrosion and heat resistance and oxidation resistance up to 2000 °F. Strength at elevated temperatures is similar to that of 18-8 Stainless Steels. This alloy posses excellent resistance to oxidation as well as high tensile and creep strengths at elevated temperatures. It is more resistant to marine atmospheres than Type 304. It is generally considered as a heat-resisting alloy.

Finishes
# 1 - Hot rolled annealed and descaled. It is available in strip, foil and ribbon. It is used for applications where a smooth decorative finish is not required. # 2D - Dull finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. Used for deep drawn parts and those parts that need to retain lubricants in the forming process. # 2B - Smooth finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. A light cold rolling pass is added after anneal with polished rolls giving it a brighter finish than 2D. #BA- Bright annealed cold rolled and bright annealed #CBA- Course bright annealed cold rolled matte finish and bright anneal #2 - Cold Rolled # 2BA- Smooth finish produced by cold rolling and bright annealing. A light pass using highly polished rolls produces a glossy finish. A 2BA finish may be used for lightly formed applications where a glossy finish is desired in the formed part. Polished - Various grit finish for specific polish finished requirements. * Not all finishes are available for all alloys - Contact Ulbrich Sales for more information.
Wire Finishes
XC - Extra clean bright annealed or bright annealed and cold rolled Grease - Ultra-bright finish (for decorative applications) Soap - Soap coating on tempered wire to act as lubricant. * Contact Ulbrich Wire for custom wire finishes.
Cold Forming
Type 309 can be rolled formed, stamped and drawn readily. In-process annealing is usually required to reduce hardness and increase ductility.
Heat Treatment
Type 309 can only be hardened by cold working.
