Product Overview:

ASTM A240 430 Stainless Steel Sheet is a ferritic stainless steel grade that offers good corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. It is composed of 16-18% chromium with minimal nickel content, making it more affordable than austenitic grades like 304 E 316, while still providing excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion. ASTM A240 430 stainless steel is magnetic, which distinguishes it from austenitic grades, and is often used in decorative and functional applications where moderate corrosion resistance is required. It is commonly found in kitchen equipment, automotive components, and architectural features.
