06Cr23Ni13 Stainless Steel Coil & Plate | GB/T 4237 06Cr23Ni13(309S) Stainless Steel Sheet Manufacturer & Exporter – Gangsteel

Gangsteel is a leading manufacturer and global exporter of GB/T 4237 06Cr23Ni13 stainless steel hot-rolled coils, plates, and wide heavy plates.Internationally recognized as Grade 309S (low-carbon stabilized version of 309), 06Cr23Ni13 is a high-chromium, high-nickel austenitic stainless steel specifically engineered for excellent oxidation resistance, scaling resistance, and high-temperature strength in continuous service up to 1000°C (1832°F) and intermittent service up to 1038°C (1900°F).

With 22–24% Cr and 12–15% Ni, 309S forms a very stable and adherent chromium oxide scale that provides superior protection against oxidation, carburization, and cyclic thermal fatigue compared to lower-alloy grades like 304 or 316. The low carbon content (≤0.08%) enhances weldability and reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding or prolonged high-temperature exposure.

Produced under GB/T 4237-2015 (Stainless Steel Hot-Rolled Sheets and Strips), Gangsteel supplies 06Cr23Ni13 in thicknesses from 2 mm to 500 mm and widths up to 4200 mm — one of the widest hot-rolling capabilities available worldwide. Our products are delivered in standard hot-rolled finishes No.1 (annealed & pickled) and 2D (annealed & pickled dull) and are exported globally to petrochemical, power generation, furnace construction, heat treatment, cement kiln, waste incineration, and high-temperature equipment industries.

Higher carbon version; more prone to sensitization

Key Insight: 06Cr23Ni13 (309S) offers better oxidation and carburization resistance than 304/316 due to higher Cr/Ni content.

Manufacturing Process: Hot Rolled at Gangsteel

Gangsteel's hot-rolling process for 06Cr23Ni13 includes:

  1. Electric arc furnace + AOD refining → precise high-Cr/Ni low-C control
  2. Continuous casting into wide slabs

  4. Hot rolling on wide heavy-plate mills (up to 4200 mm width)
  5. Controlled cooling, leveling, and descaling
  6. Solution annealing + pickling for No.1 finish or shot blasting + pickling for 2D finish
  7. Edge trimming, coil splitting, or cut-to-length

Thickness range: 2 mm – 500 mm Width range: up to 4200 mm Length: up to 18 m (plate) or coil form

Finishes: No.1 (annealed & pickled), 2D (annealed & pickled dull)

Available Forms, Sizes, and Specifications

  • Annealing covers, radiant tubes, and muffles in heat treatment furnaces
  • Petrochemical reformers, crackers, and pyrolysis coils
  • Boiler tube supports, superheater components
  • Cement kiln preheaters and calciners
  • Waste incinerators and high-temperature exhaust systems
  • Power generation components exposed to oxidizing atmospheres

Advantages of Choosing 06Cr23Ni13 (309S)

  • Excellent oxidation and scaling resistance up to 1000°C continuous
  • Good resistance to carburization and sulfidation
  • Moderate creep and high-temperature strength
  • Weldable with low carbon for reduced intergranular corrosion risk
  • Good formability and fabricability for complex heat-resistant parts
  • Cost-effective high-temperature grade vs. nickel alloys
  • Wide acceptance in petrochemical and furnace industries

 

Corrosion and Oxidation Resistance

High Cr/Ni content forms a stable oxide scale; excellent in oxidizing atmospheres, resists carburization/sulfidation. Low carbon minimizes sensitization. Oxidation resistance ~1000°C continuous, ~980°C cyclic.

Weldability and Fabrication

Good weldability with TIG/MIG; low carbon reduces sensitization. Use ER309/ER309L fillers. High ductility supports forming; annealing may be needed post-weld for critical uses.

FAQ

Q1: What is the main difference between 309S (06Cr23Ni13) and 310S (06Cr25Ni20)?

A: 309S has lower Cr (22–24%) and Ni (12–15%) than 310S (24–26% Cr, 19–22% Ni), making 310S better for higher temperatures and more severe carburizing environments; 309S is sufficient for many furnace applications and is slightly more economical.

Q2: Can 06Cr23Ni13 be used in reducing or carburizing atmospheres?

A: Yes, it performs well in carburizing and mildly sulfidizing environments due to high Cr/Ni; for severely reducing conditions, nickel alloys (e.g., 800H) may be better.

Q3: What finishes are available under GB/T 4237 for hot-rolled 309S?

A: Standard finishes are No.1 (annealed & pickled) and 2D (annealed & pickled dull). No.1 is most common for further processing.

Q4: What is the maximum width and thickness Gangsteel can produce for 06Cr23Ni13?

A: Up to 4200 mm wide and 500 mm thick in hot-rolled plates; coils typically 2–25 mm thick.

Q5: Is 309S weldable? What filler should be used?

A: Yes, good weldability. Use ER309 or ER309L fillers to match high-temperature properties.

Q6: Does Gangsteel offer third-party inspection for GB/T 4237 309S material?

A: Yes — SGS, TUV, BV, or customer-nominated agencies are welcome at any stage.

Q7: What is the lead time for hot-rolled 06Cr23Ni13 coils or plates?

A: Standard sizes from stock: 7–15 days. Custom wide/heavy plates: 25–45 days depending on thickness and quantity.

Q8: Can Gangsteel provide 309S with BA or 2B finish?

A: Hot-rolled material is No.1 or 2D. For BA or 2B, we supply cold-rolled versions under GB/T 3280.
