Luois Metals is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 430 Hex Bars, proudly located in Houston, USA. This type of stainless steel is ferritic and contains straight chromium, providing excellent formability, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance in mildly corrosive settings. Our 430 hex bars are crafted to meet ASTM A276 standards, making them perfect for decorative, architectural, and light industrial uses. At Luois Metals, we offer SS 430 hex bars in a variety of dimensions and lengths, ready for machining or fabrication. We cater to a diverse range of industries, including appliances, construction, kitchenware, and automotive, delivering dependable stainless steel solutions.
Stainless Steel 430 typically consists of 16–18% chromium, with minimal nickel content and a maximum carbon level of 0.12%. This alloy offers moderate tensile strength (up to 450 MPa) and a yield strength of about 205 MPa, along with good ductility and cold workability. It’s magnetic, boasts excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and maintains its mechanical stability in oxidizing environments. While SS 430 hex bars can’t be hardened through heat treatment, they can be cold worked to enhance strength. Additionally, this alloy provides good scaling resistance up to 815°C (1500°F).
