Mechanical Properties of 430 Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Sheet

These minimum values apply to SS 430 CR sheet in the annealed condition per ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240.

Grade 430's formability suits moderate bending and drawing. For deep drawing, an Nb-stabilised 430DDQ variant offers improved ductility.

Applications of Stainless Steel 430 CR Sheet

Stainless Steel 430 CR provides corrosion resistance at a reasonable price. In order to ascertain whether it is appropriate for your particular application, investigate its adaptable performance in the four primary sectors listed below:

Appliance & Kitchen Equipment

Used for durable dishwasher liners, refrigerator panels, and range hoods, where Grade 430 CR sheets excel.

Architectural & Decorative

This adaptable alloy is utilised in the construction of cladding, roofing, and lift doors for projects that are located on the interior (inland).

Automotive Trim & Components

Commonly used for shiny exterior trim strips, grille accents, and heat shields in vehicle exhaust systems.

Industrial & Chemical Processing

Ideally suited for use in tank linings, ductwork and flue components that are exposed to conditions containing dry gas or mild acids.

Stainless Steel 430 CR Sheet vs 304 Stainless Steel Sheet

Review the comparison table below to identify the primary technical and performance differences between these two grades.

Alloy 430 and SS 304 are the two most comparable stainless steel sheet grades. Grade 430 is ferritic with 16 to 18% chromium and no nickel; 304 is austenitic with 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This gap drives every difference in performance, cost, and suitability.

Key Differences Between SS 430 and 304 Sheet

Property SS 430 SS 304
Chromium 16–18% 18–20%
Nickel None (0.75% max) 8–10.5%
Magnetic Yes No (annealed)
Tensile Strength 450 MPa min 515 MPa min
Elongation 22% 40%
Corrosion Resistance Moderate High
Relative Cost Lower Higher

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of SS 430 CR Sheet per kg?+
SS 430 CR sheet is priced between ₹130 and ₹450 per kg in the Indian market. The exact rate depends on thickness, finish (2B costs less than BA or #4), quantity, and market conditions. Request a quotation from Sachiya Steel for live pricing.
Is 430 Stainless Steel CR Sheet better than 304 for my application?+
430 CR sheet works well for mildly corrosive indoor settings such as appliance panels and decorative trim. It costs less than 304 because it contains no nickel. If your application involves chloride exposure or aggressive chemicals, 304 provides better corrosion resistance.
What finishes are available for 430 Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Sheet?+
Standard options are 2B (smooth mill finish), BA (bright annealed), #4 (brushed satin), and #8 (mirror polish). 2B is the default for fabrication work. BA and #4 are specified for decorative and appliance use.
What sizes does SS 430 CR Sheet come in?+
Common sizes include 1219 × 2438 mm (4 × 8 ft) and 1524 × 3048 mm (5 × 10 ft), with thicknesses from 0.47 mm (26 ga) to 3.05 mm (11 ga). Custom sizes are available on request.
Can 430 Stainless Steel CR Sheet be welded?+
Yes, but only if certain safety measures are in place. Grade 430 can be welded using conventional techniques, provided that the heat input is tightly controlled. Post-weld annealing may be necessary in certain critical situations to regain ductility; however, this is not a common occurrence in the production of narrow sheets.
Is SS 430 CR Sheet magnetic?+
SS 430 CR sheet is magnetic in all conditions because of its ferritic microstructure. This property is relevant for magnetic mounting systems, signage, and appliance panels with magnetic closures.
What is the maximum service temperature for 430 Stainless Steel Sheet?+
Grade 430 resists oxidation up to 870°C (1600°F) in intermittent service and 815°C (1500°F) continuously. Prolonged exposure between 400 and 600°C can cause 475°C embrittlement, so sustained use in that range should be avoided.
