1.4016 AISI 409 Stainless Steel Coil – Product Overview

The 1.4016 AISI 409 Stainless Steel Coil is a ferritic stainless steel that offers an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance, making it ideal for automotive, industrial, and structural applications. This alloy, commonly referred to as AISI 409, contains approximately 11-13% chromium, which grants it good resistance to oxidation, particularly at higher temperatures. AISI 409 is a popular choice in automotive exhaust systems, where high temperatures and exposure to corrosive gases are common.

With its cost-effectiveness and durability, 1.4016 AISI 409 Stainless Steel Coil is used in applications that do not require the high corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steels. Yuanchi Metal offers a wide range of 1.4016 AISI 409 Stainless Steel Coils in various thicknesses, finishes, and sizes to meet specific needs.1.4016 AISI 409 stainless steel coil1.4016 AISI 409 stainless steel coil1.4016 AISI 409 stainless steel coil

Unique Features of 1.4016 AISI 409 Stainless Steel Coil

• Heat Resistance: AISI 409 performs exceptionally well under high-temperature conditions, making it ideal for use in exhaust systems, boilers, and other heat-exposed environments.
• Corrosion Resistance: While not as corrosion-resistant as austenitic grades like AISI 304, AISI 409 provides good oxidation resistance in mildly corrosive environments, particularly at elevated temperatures.
• Magnetic Properties: AISI 409 is magnetic, which is essential for applications where magnetic properties are required, such as in certain automotive components.
• Cost-Effective: As a ferritic stainless steel, AISI 409 is more affordable than austenitic stainless steels, providing a balance between performance and cost, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious applications.
• Formability and Weldability: AISI 409 is easy to form and weld, though care should be taken to avoid overheating, which could lead to reduced corrosion resistance in weld areas.
