Stainless steels which – beside the necessary percentage of Chromium – contain a good amount of Nickel and possibly of Molybdenum.

END USES
Thanks to the highest contents of Nickel and Chromium, these steel types are highly resistant to corrosion at high temperatures and in greatly reduced environments. The most common uses for this type of steel are: parts (i.e. walls, fans, etc.) for burners and ovens, air preheated elements, automatic systems for thermal treatments in the glass, porcelain, ceramic and petroleum industry.
AISI 309S (thanks to the low carbon content, lower than the corresponding AISI 309 where the maximum level of C is 0.2%) is particularly suitable for welded constructions. The high content of nickel ensures this particular type of steel has a high cold moulding index, and in general less yellowing if subject to use at high temperatures.
