Stainless 430
Stainless Steel 430 (SUS 430) is a stainless steel similar to Grade 304, but does not contain nickel. causing the magnet to stick but will not stick to the steel size but also has good anti-rust properties Although not as high as 304, this grade contains 0.12% carbon, making it stronger than 304 and 316 stainless. Suitable for work with higher loads. Because normally stainless steel tends to be tougher than hardness. In the case of carbon content greater than 0.15%, it becomes grade 420, which has a hardness suitable for making kitchen utensils in various cutting matters, such as making knives, etc.
In making stainless steel screws, SUS 304 grade is preferred to be durable enough for the environment. SUS 316 grade is used for work in the chemical industry, in the lab or in the sea. The stainless steel drill bit screws are grade SUS 410 because they are hard enough and grade 304 or grade 316 cannot be used because they are not hard enough. But the ability to withstand rust is less.
feature
magnet Due to its unique ferritic atomic structure, this stainless steel is more special than other stainless steels. That is, magnets can be attracted like iron. And with this property as well that some products have to be made of For example, you won't be able to attach a magnetic strip to the wall of an austenitic elevator.
Static shape, with ferritic having less high expansion properties than austenitic. Therefore, when the temperature rises Ferritic therefore expands less than austenitic. Thus maintaining the original proportions are better than that.
high heat resistance high temperature applications One thing to be aware of is oxide formation. Ferritic has better oxide resistance than austenitic. and the resulting oxide is thin and does not fall off as easily as austenitic
Excellent heat conductivity Of course, if you bring a ferritic casserole to the fire along with an austenitic casserole. You'll find that a pot made of ferritic water boils first. that's because Ferritic has better thermal conductivity than austenitic itself. Therefore, it is suitable for making products in applications that require heat transfer.
easy to process when you are cutting or processing Ferritic is an advantageous grade as it is softer than austenitic. Easy to cut or process Therefore, it is easier to find a cutter or a machine than an Austenitic that requires a special cutter and machine. It uses more force and is rarer.
low price and stable The most obvious advantage is that ferritic is significantly less expensive than austenitic. more than half this is not enough Ferritic does not contain nickel as a primary ingredient. Therefore, the fluctuations in nickel prices are causing turbulence in austenitic prices. therefore does not affect ferritic This has a positive effect on inventory management. Accepting large orders in advance without any price risk.
Versatile Choosing the right grades of ferritic for your product or work can be called an art. Because ferritic can be used from general homework to marine. work to be molded work to be welded Applications that require high corrosion resistance and work that requires high heat which are available in all formats Only the user must study It will understand that each job should choose which ferritic group to be the most suitable and cost-effective.
