Types 309 Stainless Steel and 309S are austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steels that provide excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance plus good strength at room and elevated temperatures. Type 309S Stainless Steel is identical to Type 309 except for a lower carbon content that minimizes carbide precipitation and improves weldability. They are essentially nonmagnetic as annealed and become lightly magnetic when cold worked.

These alloys are not hardenable by heat treatment. Anneal at 1900 – 2050°F (1038 – 1121°C), then water quench or rapidly air cool.
Types 309 and 309S Stainless Steels can be roll formed, stamped and drawn readily. In-process annealing is usually required to reduce hardness and increase ductility.
Type 309 is generally considered to have weldability nearly equivalent to the most common alloys of this class, Types 304 and 304L. When a weld filler is needed, AWS E/ER 309 and 310 are most often specified.
Types 309 and 309S provide excellent general corrosion resistance. They are more resistant to marine atmospheres than Type 304. They exhibit high resistance to sulfite liquors and are useful for handling nitric acid, nitric-sulfuric acid mixtures, and acetic, citric, and lactic acids.
