Material Intelligence
Elemental Efficiency
Chromium (16–18%): Forms passive oxide layer for atmospheric oxidation resistance.
Low Carbon (≤0.12%): Minimizes intergranular corrosion in weld-adjacent zones.
Manganese (≤1.0%): Enhances formability for deep-drawn components.
Surface Excellence
BA (Bright Annealed) Finish: Reflectivity ≥85% (ASTM B912), perfect for luxury appliance panels.
No.4 Brushed Finish: Uniform linear grain pattern (Ra 0.4–0.8μm) for architectural cladding.
Color Coating Ready: Pre-treated surface for PVD/CVD coating adhesion (ISO 2819 compliant).

Technical Insight Hub
Q1: Welding precautions for 430 coils?
A: Use AWS ER430 filler with Argon shielding; limit heat input to 1.2 kJ/mm to prevent embrittlement.
Q2: How to prevent surface scratching?
A: Apply PET protective film (3M™ 842 series) during fabrication and transit.
Q3: Comparison to 304 stainless?
A: 430 excels in cost and thermal conductivity but avoid chloride-rich environments.
