430 stainless steel is in the ferritic family of stainless steel. This means it is considered to have a ‘moderate-to-good’ level of corrosion resistance. This is due to the higher level of chromium.
430 stainless steel contains between 16-18% of chromium. However, its nickel content is very low, typically less than 1%. In addition, 430 stainless steel contains trace amounts of manganese, silicon, carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus.
This chemical composition means that 430 stainless steel contains high thermal conductivity.
It is commonly used in applications where corrosion resistance is required, such as automotive trim, kitchen appliances, and food processing equipment. Due to its aesthetically appealing look, 430 is also used in various decorative applications.
The corrosion resistance qualities are good, but they are not as good as the austenitic grades 301, 302 and 304. The alloy benefits from good formability and is readily weldable although not suitable for rigorous service. Machinability is also good, although there is a possibility of galling. Type 430 stainless steel is commonly used in the production of domestic appliances and is also used in the automotive sector for trim parts.
Type 430 stainless is a ferritic stainless steel with good corrosion resistance and is resistant to nitric acid. The alloy is readily weldable but is not suitable for rigorous service. Machinability is very good and galling is a possibility.

Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock Type 430 in round bar, plate, sheet, strip, square tube, square bar and hexagon bar.
Food-grade stainless steels contain higher levels of chromium and nickel, which means 430 stainless steel is not considered food-grade. Again, this comes down to the lower amount of chromium than other grades of stainless steel, which makes it less resistant to corrosion and staining.
