YONGJIN Grade 439 Ultra-Pure Ferritic Stainless Steel

Product Overview
YONGJIN Grade 439 is an 18% chromium ultra-pure ferritic stainless steel stabilized with Titanium. This grade delivers superior formability combined with excellent corrosion resistance, making it the preferred choice for home appliance manufacturers, architectural applications, and automotive components.
With ultra-low interstitial content [C+N] ≤ 250 ppm and EN10204 3.1 certification, YONGJIN 439 provides consistent quality for demanding forming operations while offering significant cost advantages over nickel-containing austenitic grades.

Key Characteristics
1. Superior Formability
Ultra-low [C+N] content at 170-200 ppm ensures excellent ductility with high r-values, supporting deep drawing operations for complex appliance components including washing machine drums and sink bowls.
2. Excellent Weldability
Titanium stabilization prevents intergranular corrosion in welded zones, enabling reliable fabrication without post-weld heat treatment. Recommended for TIG and MIG welding processes.
3. Corrosion Resistance
18% chromium content provides significantly better atmospheric corrosion resistance compared to 409L, suitable for indoor and moderate outdoor environments including urban and light industrial atmospheres.
4. Cost Stability
Nickel-free composition eliminates exposure to volatile nickel markets, providing 15-20% cost savings compared to 304 austenitic stainless steel with stable long-term pricing.
5. Surface Quality
Uniform ferritic structure delivers consistent 2B or Brushed surface finish, ideal for visible appliance panels, architectural trim, and decorative applications.
