409 stainless steel bright wire

Introduction to 409 Stainless Steel Bright Wire

Grade 409 is a versatile stabilized ferritic stainless steel bright wire containing 11% chromium. As a specialized form of stainless steel bright wire, it offers enhanced oxidation and corrosion protection compared to carbon steel and certain coated steels. While 409 stainless steel bright wire demonstrates excellent formability and oxidation resistance, its corrosion resistance is lower than grades 304, 430, or 439 due to its chromium content.

Manufacturing Capabilities and Chemical Composition

409 stainless steel bright wire can be processed through various forming methods including:

• Roll forming
• Stretch bending
• Deep drawing
• Pressing

Chemical Composition:

• Carbon: 0.030% (Max)
• Manganese: 1.00% (Max)
• Silicon: 1.00% (Max)
• Phosphorous: 0.040% (Max)
• Sulfur: 0.020% (Max)
• Chromium: 10.5%-11.7%
• Nickel: 0.50%

Applications and Service Advantages

409 stainless steel bright wire is particularly suited for motor vehicle exhaust system applications, including tubing and stampings. Note that it should not be used in impact-loaded structures due to potential grain structure changes in heat-affected zones.
