430 Stainless Sheet

Rmp 430 stainless steel sheet bright annealed 12 inch x 12 inch x 0 035 inch 20 ga.

430 stainless sheet. This means that it has a ferrite or body centered cubic crystalline structure rather than a face centered one. Magnetism cost and physical features raw iron is ferromagnetic meaning you can attract it with a magnet and you can make a magnet from it. With nominal 16 chromium it combines good corrosion resistance and heat and oxidation resistance up to 1500 f 816 c with good mechanical properties. Use 430 stainless steel in decorative and light structural applications rather than outdoors or in extreme temperatures.

It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1250 f. 430 stainless steel is classified as ferritic stainless steel unlike the 304 and 316 grades which are austenitic steels. Aisi sae astm 430 datasheet. Straight chromium aisi 430 stainless steel ss430 is one of the conventional ferritic stainless steels with magnetic properties and good formability it has good corrosion resistance in a mild atmosphere mild oxidizing acid and organic acid.

Type 430 stainless steel is made up of 17 percent chromium and 0 12 percent carbon while 304 stainless steel contains 18 percent chromium and 0 08 percent carbon. Ak steel type 430 is one of the most widely used of the non hardenable ferritic stainless steels. 430 stainless steel sheet 4 finish is slightly more susceptible to corrosion since it does not contain nickel or molybdenum like the 300 series. This grade does not work harden rapidly and can be formed using both mild stretch forming bending or drawing operations.

430 stainless is notable for having a corrosion resistance similar to nickel stainless steels when exposed to atmospheric and mildly corrosive environments. 430 stainless steel sheet metal is a slightly lower grade than the 300 series and is commonly used for applications when the metal needs to hold a magnet which the 300 series does not. Stainless steel sheet plate 430 is normally used for architectural machine automotive natural gas petroluem oil thermal and furniture applications.
