400 Series Stainless Steel Coil
Before getting to know 430 stainless steel coils, let us first understand its brothers and sisters: 409, 410, and 410 stainless steel coils, they all belong to 400 series stainless steel coils.
400 series stainless steel coils are stainless steel coils composed of iron, chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements. Manufactured by smelting, rolling, and annealing, it has excellent mechanical properties. The 400 series includes ferritic steel and martensitic steel. Compared with the 00 series stainless steel coil, the 400 series has increased chromium and manganese content, higher carbon content, higher wear resistance, and a wide range of applications.
Let’s take a look at the characteristics of 430, 409, 410, and 410 stainless steel coils!
1. 409 Stainless Steel Coil
- Usually contains elements such as iron, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and manganese
- Low price, ferrite structure
- Often used in automotive exhaust systems, stoves, and heat exchangers
2. 410 Stainless Steel Coil
- Usually contains elements such as iron, chromium, and carbon
- Martensitic structure, high strength

- Often used in knives, surgical instruments, tableware, clocks, stone cutting tools
4. 430 Stainless Steel Coil
- Usually contains elements such as iron, chromium, and a small amount of nickel
- Ferrite structure, good formability
- Architectural decoration, kitchen utensils, automotive exteriors, electrical panels, accessories, etc.
Learn About 430 Stainless Steel Coil
430 stainless steel coil is a coiled product made of 430 stainless steel. It is an iron-chromium alloy stainless steel with a chromium content of 16%-18%, which is lower than the chromium content of 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel. Some are slightly inferior in terms of corrosion resistance and strength.
However, 430 stainless steel coils have the advantages of excellent heat resistance and magnetic properties, as well as more economical prices. In some occasions that require medium strength and corrosion resistance, such as household appliance manufacturing and other industries, it has been widely used, and it is an economical and practical stainless steel material.
Advantages of 430 Stainless Steel Coil
- Good heat resistance
- Has a certain degree of magnetism
- Good processing performance, easy to process into various shapes
- Low chromium content, poor corrosion resistance, but still has good corrosion resistance in a dry environment
Difference Between 430, 409, 410, and 420 Stainless Steel Coil
430 stainless steel coils, 409 stainless steel coils, 410 stainless steel coils, and 420 stainless steel coils are common types of stainless steel coils. Only by fully understanding their differences in chemical composition, mechanical properties, and application fields can we choose a suitable stainless steel coil to ensure that the material is For optimum performance and durability in specific environments.
| Type | Chemical Composition | Mechanical Behavior | Application Field |
| 430 Stainless Steel Coil | Usually contains about 16%-18% chromium and less than 0.12% carbon, and may contain small amounts of nickel, but the nickel content is low | It has low strength and hardness, good corrosion resistance, and magnetic properties. | Widely used in kitchen utensils, architectural decoration, home appliances, and automobile industry, and other fields. |
| 409 Stainless Steel Coil | It usually contains about 10%-11% chromium and relatively high iron content and also contains about 0.08% carbon and a small amount of titanium and aluminum. | It has high strength and low corrosion resistance. | Mainly used in high-temperature applications such as automotive exhaust systems, stoves, gas lines, and heat exchangers. |
| 410 Stainless Steel Coil | It is a high-carbon stainless steel containing about 11.5%-13.5% chromium and more than 0.15% carbon. | It has high hardness, strength, and wear resistance, but poor corrosion resistance. | Commonly used in applications requiring high hardness and wear resistance such as cutting tools, bearings, valves, and mechanical parts. |
| 420 Stainless Steel Coil | It is a high-carbon stainless steel containing about 12%-14% chromium and 0.15%-0.40% carbon. | Has high hardness and wear resistance. | Commonly used in applications requiring high hardness and wear resistance such as knives, surgical instruments, tools, and molds. |
Application Fields of 430 Stainless Steel Coil
