Below is a brief\nexplanation of each stainless steel grade, and how they compared to one\nanother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ferritic Stainless Steel Grade 409<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The 409 stainless steel grade is defined by its 11% chromium\ncontent. It is typically the cheapest option in the ferritic stainless steel group,\nand mostly admired for its oxidation or corrosion protection properties,\nespecially compared to carbon steel and similar coated steel alloys. In\nadditional to moderate oxidation resistance, this grade is quite malleable, and\ncan be formed into various shapes, cuts, and dimensions. When compared to 430,\n439, and even 304 grades, 409 stainless steel is less resistant to corrosion\ndue to its chromium makeup, but still a better option than mild carbon steel in\nterms of corrosion. It\u2019s most common applications include automotive parts like\nexhaust systems, heat exchangers, silencers, catalytic converters, and furnace\nliners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ferritic Stainless Steel Grade 430<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>This grade of stainless steel is a non-hardenable grade that must contain at least 16% chromium. For this reason, it is often applied to indoor applications, like appliances, food equipment, roofing, automotive parts, flue liners, and more. Similar to 409 stainless steel, grade 430 has a decent resistance to corrosion and rust formation. Because of its chemical makeup, it also retains good malleability and can be annealed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ferritic Stainless Steel Grade 439<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to 430, to be this grade, stainless steel must\ncontain at least 17% chromium. Because of this content, 430 grade steel is also\nresistant to corrosion and can be easily formed, rolled, bent, or stretched\ninto custom shapes or cuts. For this reason, its most common industry applications\ninclude heating units, evaporator tubes, and automotive exhaust components.\nCompared to 409, this grade is actually more resistant to both corrosion and\noxidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Recycle Scrap Steel for Cash<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call Garden City Iron &amp; Metal at 1-888-586-5322<\/strong> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardencityironandmetal.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"recycle steel in Indianapolis (opens in a new tab)\">recycle steel in Indianapolis<\/a>, or in Central and Southern Indiana.
