 Grade 201
201 alloy is a high performance austenitic stainless steel formulated to have a lower and more
Alro Steel Metals Guide

stable cost due to the substitution of manganese for a portion of the nickel used in 300 series
stainless steels such as Type 304.

In addition, the chemical composition of alloy 201 provides higher annealed mechanical properties
than type 304 which can result in an additional benefit of weight reduction. The 201 tensile
strength is about 10% higher than Type 304 which may allow for thinner gauges and therefore
less material. However, due to the lower Chromium and Nickel content, Type 201 stainless may
not have the same corrosion resistance as Type 304.

Typical Applications
Commercial and residential food service applications, architectural end uses such as handrails
and support frame work, washing machines, hose clamps, sinks, containers and structural com-
ponents of truck trailers and railcars.

Type 309 is an austenitic chromium nickel stainless steel (. 08% max carbon). Type 309 is em-

Alro Steel Metals Guide

ployed for parts requiring both corrosion and heat resistance and oxidation resistance up to 2000
°F. Strength at elevated temperatures is similar to that of 18-8 Stainless Steels.
The 309 grades of stainless steel are noted for excellent corrosion and heat resistance. In general
309 and 309S are more resistant than type 304. They provide high resistance to sulfite liquors
and are often chosen for applications where the metal may be exposed to acids including nitric,
nitric-sulfur, citric, lactic and more.
Plates can be hot or cold formed as well as annealed to optimize corrosion resistance. It can also
be welded by typical methods The machinability of 309 is similar to grade 304.

Typical Applications
Furnace equipment, oven linings, annealing boxes, thermowells, baffle plates, quenching pots
for salt, valves and fittings.

 Grade 409
409 is a general purpose stainless steel with 11% chromium. 409 is especially useful for applica-
Alro Steel Metals Guide

tions requiring oxidation or corrosion protection beyond the capability of carbon steel and some
coated steels. 409 has good oxidation resistance and formability, but lower corrosion resistance
due to the chromium content. 409 is not as corrosion resistant as 304, 430 or 439 grades, but
far superior to mild carbon steel. 409 can be formed by roll forming, stretch bending, deep draw-
ing or pressing.

Typical Applications
Automotive exhaust system applications such as manifolds, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters,
mufflers, tail pipes and other components. Non automotive exhaust applications such as home
heating systems, automotive thermostats and fuel filters, electrical transformer cases, caskets
and heat exchanger tubing.
