JIS G4305 SUS309S Steel Plate | 309S Stainless Steel
What is JIS G4305 SUS309S Steel Plate?
As a professional stainless steel supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present JIS G4305 SUS309S Steel Plate (also known as 309S stainless steel).
SUS309S is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel under the Japanese standard JIS G4305 for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheets and strips. It contains high chromium (22–24%) and high nickel (12–15%), providing outstanding resistance to high-temperature oxidation and good strength at elevated temperatures. The low carbon content improves weldability and reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion. SUS309S is widely used for furnace parts, heat treatment equipment, radiant tubes and other high-temperature applications.
SHH STEEL supplies SUS309S as Mill Direct Supply, sourcing directly from major Chinese stainless steel mills. This ensures competitive mill pricing, consistent quality, shorter lead times and full traceability. We offer thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 6.0 mm (thicker plates available on request), widths up to 1500 mm, in coil or cut-to-length form. All materials are delivered with full Mill Test Certificates.
