Ferritic Stainless Steels


 

| Characteristics and Applications of Ferritic

  •  STS 430
    Characteristics: It is a representative steel type of ferrite stainless steel and is most widely used for general corrosion resistance. It has good Drawing, flexion, and cold working, has little hardening by machining, and has excellent weldability.

    Application: Household goods such as kitchen & tableware, automobile components, chemical industries, heat exchangers, electric equipment

  • STS 434
    Characteristics: It is a type of steel that improves corrosion resistance by adding Mo to 430 and shows better corrosion resistance than 430 for nitric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, etc.

    Application: Automotive parts, seawater tank, Fastener
