Description
A basic ferritic non-heat treatable stainless steel. Its strengths are in ductility, formability, good corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal conductivity and finish quality.
Applications
Appliance, automotive and architectural trim, vaults, heat exchangers, scientific apparatus and vending machine components, cuttlery tools, dish washing troughs, buffers, wheel lids, component parts for the soap and petrochemical industry.

Annealing
Heat to 750-780oC, cool slowly.
Hardening
430 does not respond to hardening by heat treatment.
Mechanical properties at at ambient temperature
Condition: Annealed
Hardness: 185 HB
0.2% proof stress: 270 N/mm2
Tensile strength: 450-600 N/mm2
Elongation: 20% (Longit.)
Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1100-800oC.
Machinability
Rated at 60 % of B1112. Relatively easily machined in all common procedures.
Welding
All common welding methods used for stainless will be successful with 430. Filler metal should be AWS E/ER308 or 312.
Corrosion Resistance
Resistant to fresh water and mild atmospheric corrodants. Successful in exterior automotive trim applications except in coastal areas where salt water and air will cause corrosion.
