AISI 430 Properties (Chem., Mech. & Rankings) 2022

 

In this post I'll talk about AISI 430. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.

What is AISI 430?

AISI 430 is a chromium ferrite stainless steel with moderate corrosion and heat resistance.

Application

Automotive parts, cooking utensils, fasteners, food processing, oil burners parts, television cones, tobacco machinery parts.

UNS Number

AISI Ranking Research (Stainless Steel)

While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.

I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and AISI 430 currently ranks 69 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 68 materials that are more resistant.

Note: I've analysed 77 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my material's comparison post for more details.

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy and paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. AISI 430 Properties (Chem., Mech. & Rankings). Materials Blog. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. URL

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page. This citation format is based on MLA.
