What is SS 430?
SS 430 (UNS S43000, EN 1.4016) is a ferritic stainless steel containing 16.0–18.0% chromium and up to 0.75% nickel. Nickel-free ferritic stainless with good indoor corrosion resistance and a bright finish. Magnetic and economical. It has a density of 7.7 g/cm³ and a minimum tensile strength of 450 MPa, and is used mainly for appliance panels and liners, sinks and kitchen trims and induction cookware bases.

Where is SS 430 used?
- Appliance panels and liners
- Sinks and kitchen trims
- Induction cookware bases
- Decorative trims
- Lift and escalator panels
Can SS 430 be welded?
Limited. Welds can become brittle from grain growth, so 430 is best for parts with little or no welding, or light spot welding.
Forming and machining
Good for bending and moderate drawing; magnetic. A bright BA finish is common for appliances.
SS 430 sizes we supply
Cold rolled sheets and coils in 2B and BA finish.
SS 430 price compared with 304
Well below 304 — it is nickel-free, so its price is also more stable. For today's rate, send us your size and quantity.
Our advice
430 is popular for appliances because it is magnetic and stable in price. It is less suited to heavy welding.
Values are typical ASTM A240 limits for flat products and are for guidance only. Always refer to the mill test certificate supplied with the material.
