430 Annealed Stainless Steel Strip
Extra Bright Annealed Soft Temper 430 Stainless Strip Steel is the most popular of all the straight chrome stainless steels. Its principal use is for decorative purposes. Because of its excellent heat and corrosion resistant properties, its ductility and because it costs less than the chrome-nickel grades, this Type 430 Stainless Steel Strip is used in countless applications. These uses are primarily for stainless and decorative purposes including household appliances, metal molding, metal trim, cabinet hardware, hinges, drawn and formed parts and stampings.
