Stainless Steel UNS S30909 Tubing

SS UNS S30909 Tubing is composed of an alloy that contains between 18-20% chromium, 12-15% nickel, 2-3% manganese, and small amounts of silicon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and molybdenum. This unique combination produces corrosion-resistant tubing with high strength and toughness at extreme temperatures. While this type of stainless steel offered some degree of resistance to corrosion due to its chloride content levels and non-magnetic properties when cold worked, it has limited corrosion resistance in oxidizing environments due to its lower levels of chromium. For this reason, it is often used for specialized applications or operations that involve extreme temperature changes or contamination from harsh chemicals and solvents.

Stainless steel UNS S30909 tubing is an optimal choice for applications where corrosion, temperature, and chemical resistance are paramount. Its superior strength makes it suitable for transporting hazardous fluid materials long distances. This type of tubing also features excellent formability and weldability, making welding more accessible and more cost-effective than other metals. In addition to its wide-ranging industrial uses, this tubing can be found in decorative designs as a stylish material for at-home design projects.
