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.
Gangsteel’s wide heavy-plate rolling mills enable single-piece production of large radiant tubes, furnace muffles, annealing covers, retorts, and superheater panels, minimizing welds and maximizing service life in extreme high-temperature oxidizing environments. We maintain strict control over carbon and annealing to ensure consistent oxidation resistance and creep strength.

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.
Gangsteel's hot-rolling process for 06Cr23Ni13 includes:
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)
All compliant with GB/T 4237-2015; optional third-party certification (SGS, TUV, BV).
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.
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.
Every heat is tested for chemistry, mechanical properties, surface quality, and dimensions. Full MTRs (EN 10204 3.1) and third-party certification available.
Coils eye-to-wall/eye-to-sky on steel pallets; plates bundled with skids; seaworthy export packaging with waterproof wrapping and edge protection.
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.
