Triton Alloys Inc keep Stocks in 309/309S which is a highly authenticate CR-NI stainless steel used for its excellent oxidation resistance, High temperature and creep resistance. SS 309 except for a Low Carbon Content that minimizes carbide precipitation and improves weld ability.It is tough and ductile,and can be readily fabricated and machined
309S is the low-carbon version of 309,and is recommended for applications where sensitisation, and subsequent corrosion by high temperature gases or condensates during shutdown may pose a problem. They are essential Non-Magnetic as annealed & become slightly magnetic when cold worked. 309 is manufactured to ASTM A 167 and 309S to ASTM A240 specifications.

Fabrication and Heat Treatment
Machinability
Grade 309 stainless steel can be machined similar to that of 304 stainless steel.
Welding
Grade 309 stainless steel can be welded using fusion or resistance welding methods. Oxyacetylene welding method is not preferred for welding this alloy.
Hot Working
Grade 309 stainless steel is hot worked at 1177°C (2150°F) followed by reheating at 982°C (1800°F). It can be then quenched rapidly. Post-work annealing can be done to restore its corrosion resistance property.
Cold Working
Grade 309 stainless steel can be headed, upset, drawn, and stamped even though it has high work hardening rate. Annealing is performed after cold working in order to reduce internal stress.
Annealing
Grade 309 stainless steel is annealed at 1038-1121°C (1900-2050°F) followed by quenching in water.
Hardening
Grade 309 stainless steel does not react to heat treatment. Strength and hardness of this alloy can be increased by cold working.
