UGIMA® 4509 Work Hardened (drawn) introduction

UGIMA® 4509 is an improved machinability ferritic stainless steel containing approximately 18% chromium and stabilised with niobium and titanium.

Apart from good corrosion resistance, this grade is characterised by its high suitability for different methods of working, such as machining, cold heading and welding:
This UGIMA® version of 4509 makes it possible to achieve significantly greater machining productivity than that obtained with a standard 4509, thanks to slower tool wear and better chip breakability.
Stabilisation with niobium eliminates the risk of sensitisation during welding and the titanium limits the grain size in welded areas.

It has excellent cold-heading properties.
For some applications, it is an economical replacement for certain austenitic grades such as 1.4307 or 1.4305.
Its ferritic structure ensures excellent ferromagnetic properties, good oxidation resistance (in particular to thermal cycles) and an expansion coefficient similar to that of carbon steel.

The structure of UGIMA® 4509 is entirely ferritic in the as-delivered condition. The main precipitates are Nb-carbonitrides, Ti-nitrides and Ti-sulphides or Ti-carbosulphides.
