430 is also used quite frequently in some places. Recently, some customers are asking about 430 stainless steel pipes. Today we will briefly introduce some basic information of 430. Let more friends can understand.
430 stainless steel is not food grade, 430 belongs to ferritic stainless steel, with magnetism, known as stainless iron, used to make knives, etc. ). Such as 201 202 301 304 (austenite has good corrosion resistance), so 430 stainless steel is not very safe to make tableware, because 430 stainless steel has poor corrosion resistance.
(1), stable performance
430 stainless steel is in the form of ferrite, 304 stainless steel is in the form of austenite, and 304 stainless steel is more stable than 430 stainless steel.
(2), stable performance
430 stainless steel is in the form of ferrite, 304 stainless steel is in the form of austenite, and 304 stainless steel is more stable than 430 stainless steel.
(3), toughness
304 stainless steel has strong toughness, stronger than 430 stainless steel.
(4), thermal conductivity
The ferrite of 430 stainless steel has better thermal conductivity than the austenite of 304 stainless steel.
(5), mechanical properties
430 stainless steel is added with a stable chemical element titanium, and the mechanical properties of the weld are better than 304 stainless steel.
430 stainless steel application fields:
1. 430 stainless steel is mainly used for architectural decoration, fuel burner parts, household appliances, and home appliance parts.
2. Add Ti or Nb to 430 stainless steel, reduce C content to become 430LX, improve processing performance and welding performance, mainly used in hot water tanks, hot water supply systems, sanitary appliances, durable household appliances, bicycle flywheels, etc. .
3. Add 430F, a free-cutting steel grade, to 430 stainless steel, which is mainly used for automatic lathes, bolts and nuts.
