CLEVELAND-CLIFFS 430 Ultra Form

Abstract Cleveland-Cliffs 430 Ultra Form is a ferritic stainless steel that was developed as a more formable version of type 430 stainless steel. It contains a small addition of titanium and has a more equiaxed microstructure. It is particularly suited for parts having complex shapes. Cleveland-Cliffs 430 Ultra Form combines good corrosion resistance with heat and oxidation resistance up to 815 °C (1500 °F), while having improved mechanical properties over type 430 stainless steel. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joinability. Filing Code: SS-1344. Producer or source: Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.
