Ferritic & low-carbon chromium grades / MATERIAL REFERENCE
439 stainless steel
A stabilized ferritic grade. The stabilizing-element requirement is part of the exact material specification.
439 standard comparison
Compare the exact designation, chemical limits and test conditions before specifying material. Related grades are not automatically interchangeable or certified to all four standards.
Grade references & product scope
EN 10028-7
1.4510 / X3CrTi17
Stainless steel flat products for pressure purposes. Grade, product form, thickness and delivery treatment must match the standard. It is not a bar/profile standard.
Reference: 2016 (DIN EN10028-7:2016-10 current, checked2026-09-09)
ASTM A240/A240M
Type 439 / UNS S43035
Plate, sheet and strip for pressure vessels and general applications. Flat-product reference data; not bar/profile specifications or guaranteed Sheye stock capability.
Cold-rolled stainless steel plate, sheet and strip. These flat-product data do not establish a hot-rolled plate, bar or profile specification.
Reference: JIS G 4305:2021 grade references; steelmaker summaries and explicitly labelled 2012 mechanical rowsSpecification confirmation required
No exact SUS439 designation or complete G4305 counterpart was established in the primary JIS grade sources. A commercial 439 cross-reference must be reviewed against its mill certificate and actual stabilization chemistry.
GB/T 3280
022Cr18Ti / S11863
Cold-rolled stainless steel sheet, plate and strip, including slit wide strip. These values are not hot-rolled plate, bar or profile acceptance limits.
Reference: 2015
Chemical composition comparison
Mass %. ≤ means maximum; ≥ means minimum. A range includes both limits. “—” means no value published in this comparison; it never means zero.

Room-temperature mechanical properties
Rp0.2 is 0.2% proof strength; Rm is tensile strength; A is elongation. The delivery condition, product form, thickness and specimen basis belong to the value. Rows identify the reference specification or manufacturer summary and its qualifications; values are not design allowables.

Reference editions & ordering conditions
ASTM A240 covers flat products; EN 10028-7 is for pressure-purpose flat products. JIS G4305 and GB/T 3280 cover cold-rolled flat products. Their cold-rolled values must not be used as acceptance limits for hot-rolled plate, bars or profiles. Confirm the standard edition and all supplementary requirements in the purchase order and mill test certificate.
EN 10028-7 — 2016 (DIN EN10028-7:2016-10 current, checked2026-09-09)
Chemical values are cast-analysis mass percentages. A dash/omitted element means no limit stated in the selected table, never zero content. Cross-standard grade names are comparison references, not automatic equivalence or proof of Sheye certification.
1.4510 is the commonly compared EN439-family grade. Its composition window is not identical to ASTM439. Table1 stabilization footnote allows Ti/Nb/Zr alternatives using specified equivalence; agree the exact stabilization route.
Chemistry is heat-analysis mass percent. Omitted elements have no requirement in the cited row, not zero. A480/A480M governs product-analysis tolerances and general requirements. Mechanical values use the printed SI column. ASTM regards SI and inch-pound systems as independent: do not convert ksi to generate an SI acceptance limit. Room-temperature Table 2 reference properties. Confirm delivery heat treatment, specimen preparation, dimensional tolerances and all general requirements against the contractual A480/A480M edition. Yield is based on 0.2% offset; a 0.5% total-extension-under-load alternative is permitted unless otherwise specified. Elongation gauge length is 50 mm or 2 in. HBW and the specified Rockwell scale are alternative permissible methods; thin-gauge superficial hardness provisions apply. The full 2026 numerical tables were not available for verification. Display the reference edition and confirm the contractual edition and certificate before accepting an order.
The printed Type439 row is S43035. Its Ti rule differs from the combined Ti+Nb rule of S43932.
JIS G 4305 — JIS G 4305:2021 grade references; steelmaker summaries and explicitly labelled 2012 mechanical rows
JSA confirms the 2021 edition remains valid and was reaffirmed on 20 October 2025. Full purchased normative tables and all footnotes were not available for a complete current-edition audit. Listed chemistry is mass percent from primary JIS-grade summaries, not typical mill analysis. Missing cells mean not reproduced or not verified, not zero. Mechanical limits apply to the stated annealed/solution-treated cold-rolled condition at room temperature. Sampling, gauge length, direction, thickness-related rules and acceptance methods require the contractual standard. Corresponding designations are comparisons, not unconditional equivalence or proof that every supplied heat meets all listed standards.
No exact SUS439 designation or complete G4305 counterpart was established in the primary JIS grade sources. A commercial 439 cross-reference must be reviewed against its mill certificate and actual stabilization chemistry.
Chemistry is heat analysis, mass %. The GB designation is a related reference, not automatic cross-standard certification. For thickness below 0.3 mm, elongation and hardness are reference values only. A50 is used at thickness ≤3 mm. Mechanical testing of re-rolling feedstock is performed when requested and specified in the contract (8.2).
Sheye supplies 439 in coils, strips, sheets. Specify thickness, width or cut length, finish, quantity and the required delivery condition so the material and processing route can be reviewed together.
What to confirm for 439
A stabilized ferritic grade. The stabilizing-element requirement is part of the exact material specification. Specify the full grade designation and standard edition in the enquiry. Any dual-standard certification must be confirmed for the actual material.
Inspection & processing requirements
Include the mill test certificate requirements, heat traceability, dimensional tolerances and any additional tests. For processed coils or strip, also state edge condition, coil inside diameter, coil weight and surface protection. Processing feasibility is reviewed against the material strength and dimensions.
