Stainless steel powder 430L is a Low-carbon ferritic stainless steels, in mildly corrosive environments or atmospheric exposures, have corrosion resistance approaching that of some nickel stainless steels. These alloys are oxidation resistant at elevated temperatures. Type 430 alloys are ductile and do not work-harden readily. The toughness—defined as resistance to crack propagation or notch strength—of ferritic steels is relatively low, and the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature is at or above room temperature. The corrosion and oxidation resistances of the ferritic steels are directly related to their chromium content. The 17% Cr 430 steel alloys have good corrosion resistance to atmospheric conditions. 430 stainless steel alloys are used in a variety of applications where corrosion resistance is more important than strength. These alloys are resistant to attack in a wide variety of corrosion media.
