SUS 430 stainless steel: characteristics and applications

SUS 430 is a stainless steel grade under the Japanese standard system, corresponding to the international 430 stainless steel. It is based on ferrite as the matrix structure, and the chromium content makes it form a dense oxide film, which gives it excellent corrosion resistance. In the air, water and other media that it contacts daily, it can effectively prevent corrosion from spreading further.

In terms of performance, SUS 430 has good thermal conductivity, outstanding performance in heat exchange scenarios, and high heat transfer efficiency. Its magnetism is obvious, and this feature enables it to be used in some equipment that requires magnetic adsorption. Moreover, its processing performance is good, and it can be made into a variety of parts through stamping, bending and other processes to meet different manufacturing needs.

In terms of application, it shines in the field of kitchenware. Many stainless steel pots and tableware use SUS 430. With corrosion resistance, it ensures the hygiene and safety of kitchenware, and thermal conductivity makes cooking and heating more uniform. In the automotive industry, it is used to manufacture automotive exhaust system components, using thermal stability and corrosion resistance to withstand high temperature and corrosion of exhaust gas, helping to stabilize automotive performance. In addition, SUS 430 is also often selected in the manufacture of electronic equipment casings, combining aesthetics with protective performance to protect electronic equipment.
