SS 430 Stainless Steel Angles Manufacturer
What are SS 430 Stainless Steel Angles?
SS 430 stainless steel angles are ferritic stainless steel structural sections composed of 16–18% chromium with no nickel content. They provide excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, oxidation, and heat scaling up to 800°C, making them a reliable choice for light structural and decorative applications that do not require high strength or weld-intensive processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SS 430 stainless steel magnetic?
Yes, SS 430 is a ferritic stainless steel and exhibits strong magnetic properties.
Is SS 430 angle suitable for outdoor use?
It offers good resistance to dry environments but is not recommended for marine or aggressive chemical exposure. Use SS 316 for such environments.
Can SS 430 angles be polished or brushed?
Yes, we provide brushed (No. 4), BA (bright annealed), and mirror (8K) finish upon request.
Is SS 430 weldable?
Weldability is fair. It can be welded using proper techniques, although it is more brittle than austenitic grades.
What’s the advantage of SS 430 over SS 304?
SS 430 is more cost-effective and magnetic, but has lower corrosion resistance compared to SS 304.
