SS 1.4512 UNS S40900 Sheets & Plates

SS 1.4512 UNS S40900 is a ferritic stainless steel that contains chromium as its primary alloying element. It possesses excellent oxidation resistance and good mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. It offers good heat and corrosion resistance making it an ideal choice for applications that require both at a more economical price than other types of stainless steel.

• Density: 7.70 g/cm³
• Tensile Strength: 400-550 MPa
• Yield Strength: 250 MPa
• Hardness: Typically, 180 HV

These properties make SS 1.4512 UNS S40900 suitable for applications requiring strength, durability, and thermal fatigue resistance.

• Automotive Industry: SS 1.4512 UNS S40900 finds use in automotive exhaust systems and components. This is because the steel combines heat and oxidation resistance with practical integrity in its structure. This means that during the life of an automobile, even after it has been driven many miles or is becoming old the body will still look good and have excellent durability.
• Heat Exchangers: As a material with good resistance to both heat and corrosion, SS 1.4512 UNS S40900 is the preferred choice for heat exchangers, which must work at high temperatures.
• Furnaces & Boilers: SS 1.4512 UNS S40900 is ideal for furnaces, boilers, and similar equipment as it can withstand high temperatures without losing its ability to perform.
• Chemical Industry: This stainless steel grade is employed in facilities where the key criterion is corrosion resistance when things heat up. Reactors, tubing systems, and heat exchangers all utilize it.
• Construction & Infrastructure: Construction: 1.4512 is used in areas like outdoor structures or marine applications. These are circumstances involving low corrosion resistance demands and so must constructional elements.

• High-Temperature Resistance: SS 1.4512 UNS S40900 holds up well at high temperatures, with good performance.
• Corrosion Resistance: Though not as corrosion resistant as the high nickel containing austenitic stainless steels, SS 1.4512 offers adequate resistance to oxidation in high temperature aggressive environments.
• Durability: SS 1.4512 UNS S40900 has good durability, and can handle extended exposure to tough conditions without needing constant replacement
• Cost-Effective: SS 1.4512 UNS S40900 produces superior results at competition winning rates. As a result, it is an affordable choice for high-performance applications particularly concerned with such an environment that does not need the uttermost corrosion resistance obtainable in higher grades of alloy metal.
• Ease of Fabrication: This material is easy to process and can be welded, formed, etc., so that different workpieces can be produced using various shapes and sizes
