FAQ
AISI 430 stainless steel contains a higher chromium content, providing better corrosion resistance and a more appealing finish, making it suitable for decorative and consumer applications. AISI 409, with lower chromium content, is designed primarily for durability and corrosion resistance in high-temperature automotive exhaust systems.
While AISI 430 stainless steel bars can be used outdoors, they are best suited for mild environments. For more corrosive outdoor settings, higher chromium grades might be more appropriate due to their enhanced corrosion resistance.
AISI 409 stainless steel is designed to withstand high temperatures and corrosive exhaust gases, maintaining its integrity under harsh operating conditions. It also has good vibration and shock absorption properties, which are essential for automotive applications.
AISI 430 can be welded using most of the conventional welding techniques, but care must be taken to avoid overheating, which can lead to brittleness. For optimal results, welding procedures that minimize the heat input should be employed.
