JFE439L

Stainless steel for cold end (low temperature) use
<Composition> 18Cr - Ti - ultra-low (C, N) (SUS430LX)

comparison of corrosion resistance

Weldability

Corrosion resistance

  • This ferritic stainless steel (ultra-low C, N, added Ti), manufactured using advanced smelting technology, combines excellent formability and corrosion resistance.
  • Manufactured using an optimized production process of tandem cold rolling and CAL annealing and pickling, resulting in exceptional cost performance.

Applications

  • Stainless steel parts/materials for automobiles
  • EGR coolers, mufflers, muffler cutters, exhaust gas pipes, etc.
