Stainless Steel - Grade 430
CS 430 Technical Data
Quick Links
CS 430 is a low-carbon plain chromium ferritic stainless steel. The steel has
good corrosion resistance in mildly corrosive environments and good resistance to Stainless Grades
oxidation at elevated temperatures. In the annealed condition the steel is ductile, 3CR12 - Corrosion Resisting Steel
does not harden excessively during cold work and can be formed using a large Stainless Steel Grade 430
variety of roll forming or mild stretch-bending operations, as well as the more Stainless Steel Grade 444
common drawing and bending processes. The steel has limited weldability and Stainless Steel Grade 304
Stainless Steel Grade 321
should not be used in the as welded condition for dynamic or impact loaded
Stainless Steel Grade 316
structures. Being a ferritic material, 430 is liable to brittle fracture at sub-zero
Stainless Steel Grade 309
temperatures, and cannot be used in cryogenic applications. As the steel does not Stainless Steel Grade 310
contain nickel or molybdenum, it is cheaper than any of the 300 series steels. Stainless Steel Grade 2001
Stainless Steel Grade 2304
Typical Applications Stainless Steel Grade 2205
Stainless Steel Cromanite
430 is a simple corrosion and heat-resisting grade and finds application in areas Material Selection
where mildly corrosive conditions occur or where scaling resistance at moderate Stainless Fabrication
temperatures is required. Typical applications include: Automotive trim, Stainless Surface Finishes
architectural applications such as industrial roofing and wall cladding, kitchen Cleaning Stainless Steel
utensils, sinks, washing machine parts and industrial pipe and tube. Materials
handling equipment in the mining and sugar industry. Heat resisting applications up
to 759oC.

The performance of 430 compared with other metals in various environments is
shown in the following table. The corrosion rate is based on a 10 year exposure.

Welding
430 has adequate weldability for many applications. However it is prone to
embrittlement in the weld/haz. The fatigue properties of 430 in the welded condition
are poor and it is not recommended for applications where applied tensile or impact
loading will be experienced.
Thermal Processing
1. Annealing
Annealed 430 is in the softest and most ductile condition, and may be used for
cold-working operations. The annealing temperature range is 760oC followed by
cooling in air.
2. Stress relieving
Stress relief after welding is not usually required, although 200-300oC is the
recommended stress relieving temperature range.
3. Hot working
Initial forging and pressing temperature range: 1100 - 1150oC
Finishing temperature: below 750oC

Avoid extended holding times above 1000oC as excessive grain growth takes
place, which severally reduces ductility
Note: Soaking times to ensure uniformity of temperature are longer for stainless
steels than for carbon steels. Use up to 1/2 times the time employed for the same
thickness of mild steel.
Cold Working
430 can readily be fabricated by cold working. Typical operations include bending,
forming, deep drawing and upsetting.
