Corrosion and oxidation resistance
Sunny Xinrui Steel Type 430 has excellent corrosion resistance, including high resistance to nitric acid as well as to sulfur gases and many organic and food acids. This alloy does not provide the resistance to pitting by dilute reducing acids that is provided by the chromium-nickel stainless steels.
Because of its relatively high chromium content, the material provides good resistance to oxidation. Its maximum scaling temperature is 1500°F (816°C) for continuous service.
Weldability
The ferritic class of stainless steels is generally considered to be weldable by the common fusion and resistance techniques. Special consideration is required to avoid brittle weld fractures during fabrication by minimizing discontinuities, maintaining low weld heat input, and occasionally warming the part somewhat before forming. This particular alloy is generally considered to have poorer weldability than the most common alloy of the stainless class, Type 409. Major differences are the higher carbon content and the lack of stabilizing elements for this alloy which require post weld annealing to restore optimum corrosion and forming characteristics. When a weld filler is needed, AWS E/ER 308L and 430
are most often specified. Type 430 is well known in reference literature and more information can be obtained in this way
Formability
Type 430 is readily drawn and formed. Its drawing characteristics are similar to those of low-carbon steel, although it is stronger in the annealed condition and will require stronger tooling and increased power. It is also adaptable to most hot-forming operations.
