What is the density of 430?

7700 kg/m³ — the figure the weight calculators on this site use for 430. The value is Outokumpu / stainless technical resources’s.

What is the chemical composition of 430?

C ≤ 0.12, Si ≤ 1, Mn ≤ 1, P ≤ 0.04, S ≤ 0.03, Cr 16–18, Ni ≤ 0.75, in mass %, to ASTM A240. An element the standard sets no requirement for is left blank here rather than written as zero.

What are the mechanical properties of 430?

Tensile ≥ 450 MPa, Yield ≥ 205 MPa, Elongation min ≥ 22 % — ASTM A240, Plate/Sheet/Strip, Annealed. Those are the standard’s requirements; the mill test certificate governs the metal delivered.
