Material Notes:
P409L is a ferritic, weldable grade of stainless steel with high compressibility, enhanced green strength and good sinterability. This stabilized grade provides excellent corrosion resistance and has the capacity to provide high caliber mechanical properties because of its high temperature sintering response. P409L may be used in automotive exhaust system applications, among other uses.For property data reported here: Compacting properties measured on powders with 1% lithium stearate. Sintering was done in dissociated ammonia at 1121°C (2050°F) for 45 minutes. Compacting pressure 50 tsi. Green strength 2200 psi. Sintered breaking strength 120,000 psi.Information provided by Ametek Specialty Metal Products.
