0Cr23Ni13 (AISI309, 309S, S30908) stainless steel has good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in boilers, receivers, steam pipelines, heat exchangers, condensers and other equipment components of decaying media.
The 0Cr23Ni13 stainless steel belongs to the austenitic stainless steel, its composition is simple and contains Cr and Ni, but no Mo element. It is an economical stainless steel grade with relatively high chromium content (23%) but low nickel element (13%).
AISI309 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, due to its larger proportion of chromium, and its higher oxidation resistance than AISI 304 stainless steel. It has good corrosion resistance in reducing and neutral solutions, and can effectively resist corrosion in partially oxidized and acidic solutions. AISI309 stainless steel has good general corrosion resistance, especially for industrial atmospheres, process water and other reducing media, such as nitric acid, phosphoric acid and sulfurous acid.
Due to its higher temperature strength and relatively high C content, AISI309 stainless steel has high thermal strength even at high temperature, and can also have a long service life without long-term stress at room temperature. This stainless steel can be used for a long period of time in 560-710℃, and even above 760℃,it maintains a sufficient ductility and toughness.
At the same time, because of its excellent process performance, 0Cr23Ni13 stainless steel can be processed into various components of different shapes and sizes by various processing technologies, and its welding performance is also good. Its welding rod model is ER309.
AISI309 stainless steel has more applications than AISI304 stainless steel, but it does not have as many as AISI 310 stainless steel. This stainless steel can be used to make outdoor equipment, boilers, condensers and other equipment in severe corrosive environments, as well as long-term heavy loading structures.
In summary, 0Cr23Ni13 (AISI309, 309S, S30908) stainless steel has the characteristics of simple composition, good structure stability and high temperature strength, as well as good corrosion resistance and excellent welding performance, making it an economical stainless steel grade with good stress corrosion resistance. It can be widely used in boilers, receivers, steam pipelines, heat exchangers, condensers and other equipment components of decaying media.
