430 Annealed Stainless Steel Strip

Description

430 stainless steel coil has one key property, which is its ability to resist oxidation and rust in humid or mildly corrosive environments. It has at least 16% chromium, which makes for an invisible protective layer on the surface to prevent rust. Another advantage is its resistance to high temperatures (up to 1500°F) while not losing strength or becoming brittle. Good ductility and formability make it easy to be shaped into different products. 430 stainless steel is frequently used in aerospace engineering, medical device manufacturing, petrochemical processing plants, and marine applications such as marine fittings. However, welding 430 stainless steel can be challenging due to its high chromium content. Be sure to clean them thoroughly with a wire brush to remove any discoloration caused by heat exposure during the welding process.
