430 stainless steels

430 steel belongs to the ferritic group of steels, which means it has a certain molecular structure unique from other steels (to learn more, read our article on the types of stainless steels). It is magnetic and has a density of 7.8 g/cm3 (0.282 lb/in3). Nominally, the blend of elements found in 430 steel is, by percentage:

<0.12% Carbon

<1% Manganese

<0.04% Phosphorus

<0.03% Sulfur

<1% Silicon

and 16-18% Chromium

Type 430 steel is less costly than any of the 300 series steels, as it contains no nickel or molybdenum. It is considered a low carbon, non-hardenable steel, meaning it cannot be strengthened using the heat treatment process, though it does respond to solution annealing. 430 steel can be welded (though it is limited and should not be used for load-bearing applications), is easily machined when in bar form, and prefers to be cold worked when fabricated into its final shape.

Corrosion resistance & temperature effects

Ferritic steels are exceptionally resistant to stress corrosion cracking, and also have good resistance to organic, nitric, phosphoric, and acetic acids. 430 can be bought as 430F stainless steel, which is a free-machining steel resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion effects.
