Chinese Stainless Steel ASTM A240 430 Hot Rolled Plate Supplier

As a Chinese stainless steel plates and sheets supplier, BEBON STEEL will offer ASTM A240 430 hot rolled plate with large stock. It is a classic 16% chromium ferritic stainless steel. A240 430 stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance in fresh water, steam, mild acids and bases, as well as in oxidizing acids (e.g. nitric acid). It performs best with a smooth surface finish (e.g. polished or buffed).
Good corrosion resistance in mildly corrosive environments combined with good formability have made this product one of the most used non-hardenable ferritics, especially in indoor environments. Like all ferritic grades, A240 430 alloy steel is not susceptible to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. Resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion is lower than that of austenitic chromium-nickel stainless grades. It resists intergranular attack only in the as-delivered condition, not after local heat input e.g. through welding. The relatively high chromium content of 430 alloy contributes to good oxidation resistance, also in intermittent service. In continuous service the maximum scaling temperature is about 815 °C.
430 stainless steel is relatively easy to machine. Compared to austenitic grades, it has a lower tendency to build up edges, which in turn renders a larger machining window. Since the machinability is comparable to that of structural carbon steels, the same recommendations regarding choice of tool, cutting speed, and cutting feed apply.
