Product Details
Stainless steel 430 plate is a ferritic stainless steel widely used in cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance and good formability. It is one of the most commonly used nickel-free stainless steels in industrial and decorative fields.
What is 430 Stainless Steel Plate?
430 stainless steel (UNS S43000) is a chromium-based ferritic stainless steel that does not contain nickel. It provides good oxidation resistance and moderate corrosion resistance in mild environments.
Key characteristics:
- Ferritic structure (magnetic)
- Nickel-free stainless steel
- Good corrosion resistance in atmospheric conditions
- Excellent formability and surface finish quality
- Lower cost compared to austenitic stainless steels
Chemical Composition of 430 Stainless Steel
| Element | Composition (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.12 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 16.0 – 18.0 |
| Nickel (Ni) | ≤ 0.75 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1.0 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 1.0 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.040 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.030 |
Key insight:
High chromium content provides corrosion resistance, while the absence of nickel reduces cost significantly.
Mechanical and Physical Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 450 MPa |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 205 MPa |
| Elongation | ≥ 20% |
| Hardness | Moderate |
| Density | ~7.7 g/cm³ |
Key Performance Features of 430 Stainless Steel
Good Corrosion Resistance in Mild Environments
Performs well in indoor and atmospheric conditions, but not suitable for strong acids or chloride-rich environments.
Excellent Formability
Easily processed into sheets, panels, and formed parts.
Magnetic Properties
As a ferritic stainless steel, it is magnetic in all conditions.
Cost Advantage
No nickel content makes it significantly more economical than 300 series stainless steels.
