Alloy 439-SS Weldability

Back To Weldability Alloys

The Ferritic class of Stainless Steels 439 is usually considered to be weldable by the common fusion and resistance techniques. To avoid brittle weld fractures amid fabrication by minimizing discontinuities, maintaining low weld heat input, and occasionally warming the part somewhat before forming special consideration is required. This specific alloy is normally considered to have similar weldability to the most common alloy of the stainless class, Type 409. The main difference is the lower carbon content. When weld filler is required, AWS E/ER Alloy 439 is usually specified, butW18Cb is recommended for elevate temperature utility and E/ER 308L will develop better ductility if it will be utilized in ambient temperature conditions. Type 439 is well known for reference literature and more information can be obtained in this way.

Applications
Stainless steel grade 439 is connected to some areas that require oxidation and corrosion resistance. It is additionally generally utilized in catering equipment.
