What is Ferritic Stainless Steel?

Ferritic stainless steel is a type of stainless steel that, unlike austenitic stainless steel, is magnetic and has a body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal structure , known as ferrite. Its ferritic microstructure is mainly due to its high chromium content (usually between 10.5% and 30%) and low carbon and nickel contents .

Unlike austenitic steels, ferritic steels cannot be hardened by heat treatment (tempering), although they can be slightly hardened by cold working. Their main advantage lies in their lower cost compared to austenitic steels (due to the absence of nickel, an expensive element) and their good resistance to stress corrosion cracking and oxidation at high temperatures . However, their ductility and weldability are generally inferior to those of austenitic stainless steel.

Key Properties of Ferritic Stainless Steel:

Good Corrosion Resistance: Comparable or superior to 304 in many environments, especially in atmospheres containing chlorides, and good resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
Magnetic: A distinctive characteristic that differentiates it from annealed austenitics.
Lower Cost: Generally cheaper than austenitic stainless steels due to the absence of nickel.
Good Oxidation Resistance at High Temperatures: It resists oxidation well in high temperature environments.
Lower Ductility and Weldability: More susceptible to grain growth embrittlement in the heat affected zone of the weld, which may limit its use in some welded structural applications.
Not Heat Hardenable: It cannot be tempered to increase hardness, although it can be slightly hardened by cold working.

Features and Specifications of Ferritic Stainless Steel:

We market ferritic stainless steel in a variety of grades and formats to meet the needs of diverse industries. Common grades include:

Basic Grades (e.g. 409, 430):
- 409: With the addition of titanium for stabilization, it is common in automotive exhaust systems. Good resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures.
- 430: The most widely used ferritic grade for general applications. Good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and oxidation, common in household appliances and decorative elements.
High Chromium Grades (e.g. 439, 441, 444):
- These grades contain higher chromium and often molybdenum and/or titanium/niobium to improve corrosion resistance (especially pitting) and weldability, approaching austenitic properties in some respects, but maintaining a lower cost.
Chemical Composition: Specific contents of chromium (generally 10.5-30%), low carbon (<0.08%), low nickel (<0.5%), with possible additions of molybdenum, titanium, niobium, etc.
Format:
- Sheets and Plates: For appliances, architectural panels, equipment covers.
- Tubes: For automotive exhaust systems, non-critical piping, heat exchangers (especially finned).
- Bars: For machined components where corrosion and magnetism resistance are required.
- Coils: For further processing into sheets or strips.
Surface Finish: Various finishes, from hot rolled (No. 1) to softer cold rolled finishes (2B, BA), which influence aesthetics and corrosion resistance.

Main industrial applications of Ferritic Stainless Steel:

Ferritic Stainless Steel is an attractive option due to its combination of corrosion resistance and cost, making it ideal for:

Automotive: Exhaust systems (grades 409, 439), trim components.
Appliances: Washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, ovens (indoor and outdoor), sinks.
Cooking Utensils: Occasionally in lower cost cookware.
Architecture and Construction: Interior cladding, decorative panels, non-structural elements.
Sugar Industry: Some processing components.
Heating and Ventilation: Ducts, heat exchangers (fins).
Furniture: Components where corrosion resistance and metallic appearance are valued.
