430 Stainless Steel is a ferritic, non-hardenable stainless steel containing approximately 16–18% chromium. Known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high formability, and magnetic properties, it serves as a cost-effective alternative to austenitic grades like 304. This steel is widely used in automotive trim, kitchen appliances, and architectural components, where both appearance and durability matter.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Performs well in mildly corrosive environments such as nitric acid and organic compounds.
Magnetic and Non-Hardenable: Retains magnetism even after annealing and cold working.
Good Ductility and Formability: Suitable for deep drawing, bending, and cold forming.
Attractive Surface Finish: Takes a high polish, ideal for decorative and appliance applications.
Thermal Stability: Maintains mechanical strength and oxidation resistance up to 815°C.
