ASTM A268 TP439 stainless steel tube/UNS S43035 AISI Type 439 Seamless Tube

AISI Type 439 (also known as ASTM XM-8) is a ferritic stainless steel designed to resist corrosion in a variety of oxidizing environments from fresh water to boiling acids. Type 439 is a titanium stabilized, 18 percent chromium alloy that may be used in many oxidizing environments where Type 304 is considered adequate in terms of general corrosion resistance but is subject to chloride stress corrosion cracking. It is often used in place of Type 409 where higher thermal conductivity is required. Type 439 does not require annealing after welding to restore ductility or to provide intergranular corrosion resistance. Type 439 also has superior formability capabilities and is heavily used in the automotive industry; it can be work hardened slightly to increase tensile strength.

Ferritic stainless steel features high corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance due to its high chromium content, but its mechanical properties and machinability are poor. It is widely applied to acid-resistant structures with little stress and is used as anti-oxidation steel. This steel type can resist the corrosion of atmospheric, nitric acid and saline solution. It features high temperature oxidation resistance and small thermal expansion coefficient. It can be used in nitric acid and food factory equipment, and can also be used to produce parts working at high temperature, such as gas turbine parts.
