1.4003 AISI 430 Stainless Steel Coil – Product Overview

The 1.4003 AISI 430 Stainless Steel Coil is a ferritic stainless steel grade known for its excellent corrosion resistance in mildly corrosive environments, combined with good formability and strength. AISI 430 is primarily composed of 16-18% chromium and has a low carbon content, making it resistant to rust and oxidation in a variety of applications. While it doesn’t have the high corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steels like AISI 304 or 316, AISI 430 is an economical option for less aggressive environments.

Yuanchi Metal offers high-quality 1.4003 AISI 430 Stainless Steel Coils in a range of sizes, finishes, and thicknesses, tailored to your specific project needs. This material is widely used in the automotive, kitchen, and architectural industries for both decorative and structural applications.1.4003 AISI 430 stainless steel coil1.4003 AISI 430 stainless steel coil1.4003 AISI 430 stainless steel coil

Unique Features of 1.4003 AISI 430 Stainless Steel Coil

• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: AISI 430 provides good resistance to corrosion in mild environments, including air, water, and some chemicals. It’s ideal for applications where exposure to corrosive elements is limited.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to austenitic stainless steels like AISI 304, AISI 430 offers a more affordable solution while still providing decent corrosion resistance and durability.
• Magnetic Properties: Unlike austenitic stainless steels, AISI 430 is magnetic, making it suitable for applications that require magnetic properties, such as in certain appliances and equipment.
• Good Formability and Weldability: AISI 430 is easy to form and fabricate, making it ideal for processes such as bending, pressing, and rolling. It also has good weldability, though welding may require care due to its susceptibility to intergranular corrosion at welds.
• Low Maintenance: The material’s resistance to oxidation, combined with its durability, means less maintenance is needed, making it suitable for long-term use in various industrial applications.
