Brushed ferritic stainless steel finish

Stainless Steel 430

Grade 430 — EN 1.4016, AISI 430, SS 2320 — is the economical ferritic stainless steel for interior and lightly corrosive applications. Supplied as sheet, strip, coil, and tube, with EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates as standard.

One grade, three designations.

EN 1.4016, AISI 430, and SS 2320 all refer to the same material. Whichever standard your drawings follow, you are ordering the same grade.

Three names, one grade

Ferritic, nickel-free

Around 16–18% chromium and no nickel. This makes 430 magnetic, more economical, and less sensitive to nickel price than austenitic grades.
