430 ss Pipe

430 stainless steel: It is called "stainless iron" in the industry because it is a type of ferritic stainless steel, has good corrosion resistance, and has better thermal conductivity than austenitic stainless steel. It is currently mainly used in It is used in normal or high temperature scenarios such as building decoration, some home appliance components, and fuel burner components. However, because the chromium content in 430 stainless steel is much less than that of 304, its hardness is not as good as 304.

Type 430 is a ferritic stainless steel whose corrosion resistance is close to that of 304/304L stainless steel. This grade does not work harden rapidly and can be formed using mild stretch forming, bending or drawing operations. This grade is used in a variety of interior and exterior cosmetic applications where corrosion resistance is more important than strength. Type 430 is less weldable than most stainless steels due to its higher carbon content and lack of stabilizing elements, requiring post-weld heat treatment to restore corrosion resistance and ductility. For welded ferritic stainless steel applications, stable grades such as Types 439 and 441 should be considered.
