GRADE 430 STAINLESS STEEL (UNS S43000 / EN 1.4016) – MTC
Grade 430 Stainless Steel Sample MTC Certificate
Access a comprehensive, professionally formatted Material Test Certificate according to EN 10204-2004: 3.1 for Grade 430 Stainless Steel (ASTM A276 UNS S43000 / EN 1.4016). Inspect the exact documentation your QA and engineering teams will receive with every Ananka Fasteners order.
What's Inside This SS 430 MTC Certificate
This sample mill test certificate mirrors the rigorous QA documentation package standard for highly formable, strictly ferritic stainless steel orders shipped from Ananka Fasteners Pvt Ltd.
- Full Traceability: Certified with TC No.: S145/26-XX and corresponding ASTM / EN specifications to ensure seamless part-tracking.
- Ferritic Chemistry Profile: Detailed breakdowns verifying the high Chromium (16.00% - 18.00%) and near-zero Nickel content. This makes Grade 430 highly resistant to nitric acid and stress corrosion cracking, offering a cost-effective alternative to austenitic grades in mild environments.
- Heat Treated for Ductility: Explicit verification of the material's Annealed condition. Unlike martensitic grades, 430 cannot be hardened by thermal treatment; annealing ensures maximum softness and formability.
- Mechanical Properties: Comprehensive reporting of Tensile Strength (Min 450 MPa), Yield Strength (Min 205 MPa), Elongation (Min 20%), and Hardness (Max 89 HRB) appropriate for Condition A.
- Quality Compliance: 100% visual inspection carried out and verified free from defects and radioactive contamination.

Technical FAQs — Grade 430 Stainless Steel MTC Certificate
Why choose ferritic Grade 430 over austenitic 304?
Grade 430 is a "ferritic" plain chromium stainless steel. Because it contains virtually no nickel (as verified in the MTC chemistry block), it is often a more cost-effective alternative to Grade 304. While its overall corrosion resistance is slightly lower than 304, Grade 430 offers excellent resistance to nitric acid and is highly resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking, making it ideal for mild indoor environments, architectural trim, and specific chemical applications.
Is Grade 430 magnetic?
Yes. Unlike the 300-series austenitic stainless steels (which are largely non-magnetic), Grade 430 has a ferritic microstructure. This means that fasteners and components made from Grade 430 are strongly attracted to a magnet, even in the fully annealed condition.
Can Grade 430 be hardened by heat treatment?
No. Grade 430 is a non-hardenable alloy. It cannot be strengthened through thermal treatment like martensitic grades (e.g., 410 or 431). Heat treatment for this grade is strictly limited to annealing—heating the material to relieve stresses and improve ductility—which is reflected in the MTC's Condition A status.
