430 Stainless Steel

Composition and Properties of 430 Stainless Steel

430 stainless steel round bar is a ferritic stainless steel alloy containing at least 16% chromium—commonly referred to as “16/0” stainless steel. Its composition also includes small amounts of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and iron, giving it a balance of durability, corrosion resistance, and formability.

Chemical Composition of 430 Stainless Steel

  • Chromium: ≥16%
  • Carbon: Low content for reduced susceptibility to intergranular corrosion
  • Manganese, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Iron: Controlled levels to enhance strength, workability, and stability

Key Properties of 430 Stainless Steel

  • Corrosion Resistance – Excellent protection against rust and oxidation in a variety of environments.
  • Heat Resistance – Performs well in elevated temperature applications.
  • Magnetic Properties – Naturally magnetic, making it suitable for specialized industrial uses.
  • Formability & Weldability – Easy to shape, form, and weld for manufacturing efficiency.
  • Moderate Strength – Lower hardness compared to other stainless grades, which may limit high-stress applications.

Applications of 430 Stainless Steel Round Bar

Due to its corrosion resistance, formability, and cost-effectiveness, 430 stainless bar stock is widely used in:

  • Automotive trim and exhaust components
  • Kitchen equipment and appliances
  • Architectural and structural applications
  • Heat exchangers and industrial equipment
