What is SS430?

SUS 430 is a ferritic, straight chromium, non-hardenable grade, combining good corrosion resistance and formability characteristics with useful mechanical properties. Its ability to resist nitric acid attack permits its use in specific chemical applications but automotive trim and appliance components represents its largest fields of application.

SUS 430F is the free-machining version of this grade, available in bar form for use in automatic screw machines. SUS 434 is the molybdenum bearing version of SUS 430 and has the same useful combination of properties. Its molybdenum addition improves corrosion resistance.

Is 430 stainless steel rust proof?

SUS430 has good resistance to a wide variety of corrosive media 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 SUS304. Stress corrosion cracking resistance of SUS430 is very high, as it is for all ferritic grades.

Like other high-sulphur free machining grades 430F has much reduced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to its non-free machining equivalent, particularly in the cross-section direction.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Is 304 or 430 stainless better?

304 is more expensive than 430 due to the chemical composition, mainly the inclusion of nickel. The presence of nickel makes 304 more corrosion resistant; it also makes it much easier to press and draw.
