AISI 430 Stainless Steel Plate, 2B Surface, 1.0mm-6.0mm, Cold Rolled Coil Cut to Size, Industrial Grade Material
Product Spotlights
Product Overview
We are Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd., located in Liaocheng, Shandong, China. Established in 2025, we are an export-oriented stainless steel supplier offering AISI 430 stainless steel plate in a smooth 2B surface finish, with thicknesses from 1.0mm to 6.0mm, made from cold rolled coil and cut to size. This material is designed for clients who need a reliable ferritic stainless steel plate for industrial fabrication, equipment manufacturing, and general mechanical applications. The product combines good corrosion resistance, excellent flatness, consistent thickness, and economical material cost.
This AISI 430 plate offers a practical balance of performance and value. It contains between 16.0% and 18.0% chromium, which provides resistance to mild atmospheric and chemical corrosion, while its low nickel content helps stabilize cost. The cold rolled production route ensures tighter thickness tolerance and more uniform surface than hot rolled plate. Because it is cut to size from coil, you receive the exact dimensions needed, reducing scrap and speeding up preparation.
Key Features and Benefits
- Smooth 2B finish: The 2B surface is bright, uniform and lightly reflective, making it suitable for visible industrial components, kitchen equipment, panels, and enclosures that need a clean appearance.
- Cold rolled coil cut to size: We can deliver plates in custom lengths and widths, with square or sheared edges, to reduce secondary processing.
- 1.0mm to 6.0mm thickness range: This range covers light and medium duty applications, from protective covers and brackets to machine housings and structural cladding.
- Good formability: AISI 430 can be bent, rolled, stamped, and deep drawn in the annealed condition. It is a common choice for parts that require moderate cold working.
- Magnetic response: As a ferritic grade, 430 is naturally magnetic. This can be an advantage in applications where magnetic properties are required.
- Heat resistance: The material offers good resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures, although the maximum service temperature depends on the environment. Consult with our technical team for heat treatment or furnace applications.
- Economical performance: Very low nickel content compared with austenitic grades such as 304 means more budget-friendly material for suitable applications.
- Easier polishing: The 2B finish is an excellent base for further polishing or brushing when required.

Fabrication and Applications
The product’s combination of moderate corrosion resistance, high temperature oxidation resistance, and good mechanical properties makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial uses. Typical applications include:
- Industrial furnace components, heat exchangers, and burner parts.
- Refrigerator and control cabinet panels requiring a clean, uniform surface.
- Shop fittings, kitchen equipment, dishwasher lining, and food processing equipment in less demanding corrosive conditions.
- Automotive trim and exhaust system components.
- Punched, stamped, and formed parts such as brackets, covers, and housings.
- General engineering, construction cladding, and mechanical guards.
Because we supply coil cut to size, you can request custom widths and lengths based on your fabrication schedule. We are also able to offer various edge conditions, protective film application, or cut-to-blank options upon request. This reduces waste and helps your workshop stay efficient.

FAQ
-
1. Is AISI 430 the same as 304 or 316 stainless steel?
No. AISI 430 is a ferritic stainless steel with much lower nickel content. It offers moderate corrosion resistance and is magnetic. For highly corrosive environments, 304 or 316 may be more appropriate. We can help you choose the most suitable grade for your application. -
2. Can this product be cut to custom dimensions?
Yes. Our material is produced from cold rolled coil and cut to size. You can specify width and length according to your drawings. Edge finishing, brushing, and protective film options are available upon request. -
3. What does 2B surface finish mean?
A 2B finish is a cold rolled, annealed, and pickled surface followed by skin pass. It has a smooth, uniform appearance with a moderately reflective matte finish. It is suitable for general industrial use and also serves as a good base for polishing. -
4. Is this plate magnetic?
Yes. As a ferritic stainless steel, AISI 430 is magnetic in the annealed condition. This is normal and may be useful for some magnetic or mechanical applications. -
5. Can I use this product for outdoor marine exposure?
AISI 430 has limited pitting resistance and is not recommended for prolonged exposure to marine environments or strong chloride chemicals. For such outdoor coastal conditions, an austenitic grade such as 316 should be considered. -
6. What documentation do you provide?
We can provide ISO9001-related quality management documentation, mill test certificates, and packing lists. For specific project requirements, please inform us in advance so we can prepare the needed paperwork with the shipment. -
7. What is the usual lead time?
For standard cut-to-size plates, lead time can be flexible depending on quantity and order schedule. We recommend contacting us with your required specification and quantity to receive delivery time confirmed by our team.
