SUS405 Ferritic Stainless Steel Plate/Coil Introduction

SUS405 is a ferritic stainless steel containing chromium and aluminum, designed for enhanced oxidation resistance and scaling resistance up to 815°C. It offers moderate strength and good ductility in the annealed condition. This non-hardenable alloy is magnetic and exhibits excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Commonly supplied as hot-rolled or cold-rolled plates, sheets, and coils, SUS405 is widely used in automotive exhaust systems, heat exchangers, and industrial furnace components.

SUS405 Ferritic Stainless Steel Plate/Coil Chemical Composition

Chemical composition of SUS405 according to JIS G 4304. The aluminum addition significantly improves high-temperature oxidation resistance. Carbon is kept low to maintain a fully ferritic microstructure and ensure good ductility.

Notes:

Welding: preheat to 150–200°C and post-weld annealing recommended to avoid cracking; filler material can be matching or austenitic (e.g., 309L). Avoid prolonged exposure at 475°C to prevent embrittlement. Not suitable for strong reducing acids or high-chloride environments due to risk of pitting corrosion.
