25 апр. 2022 г. · Grades 430 and 304 are the two most common grades of stainless steel. Both offer a durable iron alloy that can resist rust and corrosion.

304 is generally more expensive than 430 because of the chemical composition. Notably, 304 contains between 8 – 10.5% nickel whereas 430 contains 0%.

27 нояб. 2023 г. · 430 stainless steel is significantly more affordable than 304 stainless steel, primarily due to the absence of nickel in grade 430.

While grade 304 belongs to the austenitic class of stainless steels, grade 430 falls under the ferritic class. This means that their crystalline microstructure ...

13 февр. 2020 г. · They both are food-safe because of their corrosion resistance: in acidic environments, the 430 is slightly more vulnerable to corrosion, but ...

Another distinction is the chromium content, which is approximately 2-4% lower in 430 compared to SAE 304. This element provides both stainless steel grades ...

24 апр. 2024 г. · 430 belongs to the ferritic stainless steel grades with 17% chromium. Grade 304 has slightly higher chromium content with a minimum of 18%. Grade 430 also ...

15 мар. 2024 г. · 430 Stainless Steel: 430 stainless steel typically has a duller, matte finish and a slightly rougher surface compared to 304 stainless steel.

11 сент. 2024 г. · Density: 304 is denser, offering more strength, ideal for structural use. 430 is lighter, suited for weight-sensitive applications. Melting ...

The 430 material is highly machinable compared to the 304 grade of stainless steel. The lack of nickel also provides with higher ductility to the 430 material.
