Type 430 Ferritic Stainless Steel
The most commonly used ferritic steel, type 430 has a higher chromium content and is, consequently, more resistant to corrosion by nitric acids, sulfur gasses, and many organic and food acids. In some applications, this grade can be used as a replacement for austenitic grade 304. Type 430 is often found in interior appliances, including washing machine drums, kitchen sinks, cutlery, indoor panels, dishwashers, and other cooking utensils.
Type 430 is a ferritic stainless steel alloy which offers good corrosion resistance and is particularly resistant to nitric acid, making it a very useful material in chemical 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.
TP430 is a typical martensitic chromium-alloy steel grade. It does not have the nickel content and owns the following characteristic:
- Harding by heat treatment
- High hardness with good ductility
- Good corrosion resistance capability
- Good wear corrosion resistance
- High cold-deformation property
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
Heat Treatment
- Solution Annealing – Heat to 815-845°C, hold for ½ hour per 25mm of thickness, slow furnace cool to 600°C and then quickly air cool. Slow cooling from 540-400°C will cause embrittlement.
- Sub-Critical anneal – Heat to 760-815°C and then air cool or water quench.
- This grade is not hardenable by thermal treatment.
Welding
- Pre-heat at 150-200°C if welding is necessary.
- Embrittlement in the weld metal and heat affected zone can be relieved by a post-weld anneal at 790-815°C
- Grain refinement will not occur.
Machining
- Easier to machine than the standard austenitic grades such as 304.
- Still a tendency for galling and pick-up on the cutting tool.
- Bars that have been lightly drawn are easier to machine than those in the annealed condition.
- Grade 430F, the free machining version of 430, is very much easier to machine.
Fabrication
- Lower work hardening rate makes bending and forming somewhat easier than for grade 304
- Lower ductility restricts very severe operations.
- Severe bends should be made with the bend axis at right angles to the rolling direction.
- Severe cold heading of 430 wire is possible.
