Stainless steel 430
Material type: Metal, Corrosion resistance, Magnetic
Stainless steel 430 is a non-hardenable steel containing straight chromium, and belongs to the ferritic group of steels. This steel is known for its good corrosion resistance and formability, coupled with practical mechanical properties. It can be used in certain chemical applications due to its resistance to nitric acid.
Material advantages
Low price, good workability, good stress corrosion resistance, typical non-heat treatment hardenable ferritic stainless steel; low thermal expansion rate, excellent oxidation resistance.
Recommended description
Stainless steel 430 is one of the most widely used “non-hardenable” stainless steels. It has good corrosion resistance, formability, ductility and is magnetic in all conditions. It is well suited in chemical applications due to its resistance to nitric attack and is a very popular choice for domestic appliances and decorative trim.
