430L Stainless Steel Powder Description
430L Stainless Steel Powder is a low-carbon content version of 430 stainless steel powder. It has good corrosion resistance, high-temperature oxidation resistance, and moderate strength. 430L stainless steel is as widely used in kitchenware as 304 stainless steel. Without Ni, 430L is cheaper than 304 but at the same time shows worse corrosion resistance in the long run. Grade 304 gives larger longevity and better malleability at a higher cost than grade 430L. But in the short term, there is no big difference.
