2025 09 27 409 stainless steel is a ferritic stainless steel grade primarily recognized for its excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance and good weldability, particularly in applications where aesthetic finish is secondary to functionality and cost-effectiveness. It is commonly employed in environments exposed to fluctuating temperatures and mild corrosive conditions, offering a durable solution without the higher cost associated with more alloyed stainless steels. Its ferritic structure contributes to its magnetic properties and resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
