430 stainless steel bright wire

430 Stainless Steel Alloy, available in both sheet and stainless steel bright wire forms, is a versatile ferritic grade material. This straight chromium, non-hardenable grade combines excellent corrosion resistance and formability characteristics with robust mechanical properties. The 430 stainless steel bright wire variation offers similar performance while being ideal for wire-specific applications.

Applications and Common Uses

The material's resistance to nitric acid makes it suitable for specific chemical applications, though its primary uses are in automotive trim and appliance components. Common applications include:

• Automotive Trim and Lashing Wire
• Chimney Liners
• Element Supports and Fasteners
• Appliance Components:
  • Linings for Dish Washers
  • Refrigerator Cabinet Panels
  • Stove Trim Rings

430 stainless steel bright wire is particularly suited for applications requiring high tensile strength and excellent surface finish, complementing the traditional sheet form's versatility.
