Vincent Metals stocks and sells 430FR ASTM A-838 Alloy Type 2 Grade 1 in rod form.
430FR is ferritic stainless steel with an increased silicon content that allows it to possess increased magnetic characteristics and higher electrical resistivity. It is ideal for parts that require corrosion resistance, such as:
- Solenoid valves
- Injectors
430 FR maintains its corrosion resistivity in fresh water, moderately acidic, and low chlorine environments. 430FR’s increased hardness and magnetic characteristics make it a good choice for several industries:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Industrials
