409L Stainless Steel Bar

In-Stock: Φ5–50mm | Full MTC Traceability | 30% Cost Savings vs. 304

409L stainless steel bar is a low-cost ferritic stainless steel with very low carbon content. It has good weldability, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance in automotive exhaust environments, widely used in automotive parts and industrial equipment. exhaust assemblies requiring hollow sections in a compatible grade can be completed with stainless steel round tube in 304 or 316L.

  • High-Volume Cost Efficiency

    Ultra-low nickel content (≤0.5%) delivers 30% cost savings over 304 series, making it the superior choice for high-volume automotive parts.

  • Excellent Heat Resistance

    Maintains structural stability in continuous high-temperature exhaust environments (up to 600°C–750°C), preventing scale and premature degradation.

  • Superior Weldability & Stamping

    Low carbon content prevents intergranular corrosion in weld zones. Excellent cold-forming properties ideal for mass-producing muffler brackets and mufflers.
