SUS309S Austenitic Stainless Steel Plate/Coil to JIS G4304/G4305 Introduction

SUS309S is a low‑carbon austenitic stainless steel standardized in JIS G4304 (hot‑rolled) and JIS G4305 (cold‑rolled). With approximately 22–24% chromium and 12–15% nickel, it offers excellent resistance to high‑temperature oxidation and scaling up to about 1000°C in continuous service. The controlled carbon content (≤0.08%) significantly reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding or slow cooling, making it suitable for as‑welded applications.

  • Superior oxidation resistance in cyclic and continuous high‑temperature environments
  • Good strength and ductility in the annealed condition
  • Low susceptibility to sigma phase embrittlement at moderate temperatures
  • Readily formable and weldable by common fusion and resistance methods

SUS309S Austenitic Stainless Steel Plate/Coil to JIS G4304/G4305 Chemical Composition

The composition conforms to JIS G4304/G4305 for grade SUS309S. The low carbon content minimises carbide precipitation during welding and enhances corrosion resistance in the as‑welded condition. All elements are controlled to ensure stable austenitic structure and high‑temperature oxidation resistance.

SUS309S Austenitic Stainless Steel Plate/Coil to JIS G4304/G4305 Application Introduction

SUS309S is primarily used in high‑temperature environments where resistance to oxidation and scaling is more critical than mechanical strength. Its low carbon content permits as‑welded fabrication without post‑weld annealing.

  • Excellent resistance to thermal cycling and thermal shock
  • Can be used in both oxidizing and slightly reducing atmospheres
  • Not recommended for heavy sulphidizing environments or where high‑temperature strength alone is the primary requirement

Product Applications: Industrial furnaces: radiant tubes, burner nozzles, heat treatment baskets, muffles, retorts, Heat exchangers for flue gas or high‑temperature air, Thermal oxidizers and afterburners, Ducting and expansion joints in exhaust systems, Kiln furniture (supports, trays, fans)

Processed into products: Radiant tubes and radiant coils, Furnace hearth rollers and skid rails, Heat treatment baskets and charging grids, Combustion chamber liners, Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler tubes, Thermocouple protection sheaths (up to ~1000°C)

Application industries: Heat treatment and furnace construction, Petrochemical and refinery, Power generation (gas turbine supplemental parts), Automotive exhaust and emission control, Chemical processing (high‑temperature kilns, reactors)

USAASTM A240/A240M309 (UNS S30900)Higher carbon (max 0.20) than 309S, may require post‑weld heat treatment to avoid sensitization

Notes:

Welding: Can be welded by common methods (TIG, MIG, SMAW) without preheating. Post‑weld heat treatment is generally not required thanks to low carbon. Surface finish: For cold‑rolled sheet/coil, finishes such as 2B, BA, No.4, and hairline are available. Ordering information: The standard dimensions and tolerances follow JIS G4304/G4305. When ordering, specify thickness, width, edge condition, and surface finish. Special requirements: Intergranular corrosion test (e.g., JIS G0575 oxalic acid etchtest) can be specified for critical applications.
