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.

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.
