AISI 430 stainless steel strip
Economical, magnetic; available annealed or work‑hardened.
Description
AISI 430 (EN 1.4016, X6Cr17) is a ferritic stainless steel with about 17% chromium and no nickel. It is magnetic, offers good corrosion resistance in moderately aggressive environments and has a more stable cost than austenitic grades, as it is not affected by nickel price fluctuations. It has lower thermal expansion and good thermal conductivity. It is widely used in household appliances, decorative trim, kitchen components, magnetic parts, gaskets and automotive components. 3S supplies AISI 430 precision strip annealed 2R/BA with a bright surface, or work-hardened for greater stiffness, as strip, narrow strips, spools and sheets from 0.05 to 0.70 mm (annealed) and from 0.05 to 2.50 mm (work-hardened).
Properties
- Magnetic, suitable for electromagnetic applications
- Nickel-free: more stable cost
- Bright BA surface for decorative uses
- Available annealed or work-hardened
