Introduction
Stainless steel grade 430 is a non-hardenable steel containing straight chromium,
and belongs to the ferritic group of steels. This steel is known for its good corrosion
resistance and formability, coupled with practical mechanical properties. It can be
used in certain chemical applications due to its resistance to nitric acid.
Grade 430F stainless steel is usually provided in bar form to be used in automatic
screw machines.

Corrosion Resistance
All ferritic grades, such as stainless steel grade 430, have excellent stress corrosion
cracking resistance. Grade 430 has good corrosion resistance to numerous
substances, such as certain organic acids and nitric acid. The corrosion resistance is
maximized in well-polished or buffed condition. Its pitting and crevice corrosion
resistance is quite similar to that of grade 304. 430F is a high-sulfur free machining
grade, and therefore the resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion is comparatively
lesser than those grades that are non-free machining.
Heat Resistance
Stainless steel grade 430 is capable of resisting oxidation up to 870°C (1598°F) in
intermittent usage, and up to 815°C (1499°F) in continuous usage. At room
temperature, it has the tendency to become brittle, especially when it has been
heated for a long time in the 400-600°C (752-1112°F) range. This issue can be
overcome with annealing.
Heat Treatment
Solution annealing can be performed by heating stainless steel grade 430 to 815 -
845°C (1499-1553°F). Then it has to be slow furnace cooled to 600°C (1112°F) and
followed by air-cooling in a quick manner - as slow cooling between 540 and 400°C
(1004 and 752°F) tends to cause embrittlement.
For sub-critical annealing, heating should be performed to 760-815°C (1400-
1499°F), followed by air-cooling or water quenching.
Welding
To perform any welding, stainless steel grade 430 has to be pre-heated at 150-
200°C (302-392°F). In case of embrittlement in the welded metal, the particular area
can be post-weld annealed at 790-815°C (1454-1499°F); however grain refinement
will not happen.
It is recommended that grade 430, 308L, 309 or 310 filler rod should be used based
on the application.
Machining
The machinability of stainless steel grade 430 is a lot easier than standard austenitic
steels such as grade 304 - but there is a chance for galling. Lightly drawn bars are
easier to machine than bars in the annealed condition. Grade 430F is easy to
machine.
Fabrication
Stainless steel grade 430 has a low work hardening rate which enables easy
bending and forming. The low ductility rate, however, makes it difficult to perform
very rigorous operations. It is possible for grade 430 wire to handle rigorous cold
heading. Sub-critical intermediate annealing may be required for extreme cold
working.
