430 Stainless Steel Coil

　　Applications

　　Typical applications for 430 grade include:

　　Linings for dish washers

　　Refrigerator cabinet panels

　　Automotive trim

　　Lashing Wire

　　Element Supports

　　Stove trim rings

　　Fasteners

　　Chimney Liners

　　Corrosion Resistance

　　Grade 430 has good resistance to a wide variety of corrosive enviornments, including nitric acid and some organic acids. It attains its maximum corrosion resistance when in the highly polished or buffed condition. In general its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion resistance is close to that of grade 304. Stress corrosion cracking resistance of Grade 430 is very high, as it is for all ferritic grades.

　　Heat Resistance

　　Grade 430 resists oxidation in intermittent service up to 870°C and to 815°C in continuous service. This grade may become brittle at room temperature after prolonged heating in the 400-600°C range. This effect can be eliminated by annealing.
