AK Steel 439 ULTRA FORM™ was developed for applications requiring oxidation and corrosion resistance superior to Type 409 as well as superior formability to AK Steel 439 Stainless Steel. As a result, the material offers advantages for parts requiring more complex shapes than possible from these stainless steels. Examples include tubular manifolds and other exhaust system components where temperatures may exceed the oxidation limit of Type 409, or where wet corrosion resistance, particularly to chlorides, is needed.Information provided by AK Steel. |
