Ferritic stainless steel with good ductility in
heat treated condition. The composition is balanced by providing sufficient chromium to give
adequate corrosion resistance for the usual applications, and yet retain sufficient ductility in the heat-treated condition.
Welding with filler metal of the ER430 classification usually requires
Preheating.
Optimum mechanical properties and corrosion resistance are obtained only when the weldment is heat treated following
the welding operation.
These consumables include
stabilized version with Niobium and/or Titanium
designed for the automotive industry and
used in the production of exhaust systems
