Whether it’s 430 stainless steel bar stock or SS 430 rod, it adapts to your needs.
Chemical Composition
| Element | Percentage (%) |
|---|---|
| Chromium (Cr) | 16.0–18.0 |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.12 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1.0 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 1.0 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.04 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.03 |
| Nickel (Ni) | ≤ 0.75 |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance |
Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 450 MPa (65 ksi) |
| Yield Strength (0.2%) | ≥ 205 MPa (30 ksi) |
| Elongation | ≥ 22% (in 50mm) |
| Hardness (Rockwell B) | ≤ 89 |
Chemical Properties
The 430 Stainless Steel Bar handles chemicals with ease:
- Acids: Resists nitric and organic acids well; less effective against sulfuric acid.
- Alkalis: Stable in mild alkaline conditions.
- Limitations: Avoid highly acidic or chloride-rich environments for prolonged use.
It’s a reliable pick for SS 430 bar in less aggressive settings.
Things to Note (Limitations)
- Temperature Limits: Brittle at 400-600°C after prolonged exposure; max continuous use at 815°C.
- Corrosion Risk: Susceptible to pitting in humid or chloride-heavy conditions.
- Weldability: Prone to embrittlement without proper heat treatment.
Plan your 430 stainless steel threaded rod use accordingly.
Corrosion Data
| Environment | Resistance Level |
|---|---|
| Atmospheric (Rural) | Excellent |
| Atmospheric (Marine) | Moderate |
| Nitric Acid (Dilute) | Very Good |
| Saltwater (Warm) | Poor (pitting risk) |
| Organic Acids | Good |
Perfect for 430 stainless steel flat bars in mild climates.
Best Welding and Manufacturing Practices
- Welding: Use standard fusion welding techniques with or without 308L filler metals. Post-weld annealing is optional for thin 304 sheets but recommended for thicker sections.
- Forming: Easily shaped via bending, stamping, or deep drawing.
- Machining: Requires sharp tools and lubrication to avoid work hardening during cutting or drilling.
These properties make our 304 stainless sheet a favorite for manufacturers.
What Customers Say About Our 304 Sheets
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does 430 Stainless Steel Rod compare to 304?
A: It’s cheaper and magnetic but less corrosion-resistant and harder to weld than 304.
Q: What’s the price of SS 430 bar?
A: Varies by size and quantity—contact us for a quote on 430 stainless steel rods!
