430 Stainless Steel Overview
430 stainless steel is a ferritic stainless steel characterized by its high chromium content, typically ranging from 12% to 18%. This increased chromium level provides excellent ductility and formability, along with strong resistance to acid corrosion and oxidation.
Chemical Composition
- Chemical Formula: Fe, <0.12% C, 16-18% Cr, <0.75% Ni, <1.0% Mn, <1.0% Si, <0.040% P, <0.030% S

Common Trade Names
- 430 Stainless
- 430 Stainless Steel
Key Features
- Maximum corrosion resistance is achieved when polished or buffed.
- Annealing the metal helps eliminate brittleness at room temperature after heating.
Applications
As one of the most widely used ferritic stainless steels, 430 stainless steel is employed in numerous consumer and commercial products. Its applications include:
- Automotive trim
- Dishwasher linings
- Stove trim rings
- Fasteners
430 stainless steel is a non-hardenable grade with good mechanical properties, offering corrosion resistance and heat resistance up to 1500°F. When highly polished, it exhibits maximum corrosion resistance. Additionally, 430 has a high resistance to stress corrosion cracking, making it ideal for various applications. Its ease of machining surpasses that of austenitic grades like 304, particularly in drawn bar form. For those requiring enhanced machinability, grade 430F is a free-machining variant available in round bar form.
