Type 430 F Stainless Steel 1

[sigiljose]

HI,

Am searching for metals comparable to Type 430F of 430FR Stainless Steel.
Can anyone help me out here.

Thanks,
Sigil.

The word "comparable" does not explain what you really need.
430, UNS No.S43000 is in ASTM A240
430F, UNS No. 43020 is in ASTM A 473
Is this what you look for?

430FR & 430F are almost identical, except 430FR has higher Si for better wear resistance. For more info on these & similar alloys, go to
