JIS G4305 SUS430 Steel Sheet | 430 BA/2B Stainless Steel
What is JIS G4305 SUS430 Steel Plate ?
As a professional stainless steel supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present JIS G4305 SUS430 Steel Plate (also known as 430 stainless steel).
SUS430 is a ferritic stainless steel under the Japanese standard JIS G4305 for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheets and strips. It contains 16–18% chromium and has low carbon content, providing good resistance to atmospheric corrosion, oxidation and mild chemicals. It is magnetic, has excellent formability and is more cost-effective than austenitic grades such as 304. The most common surface finishes for this grade are 2B (matte) and BA (bright annealed, high reflectivity).
SHH STEEL supplies SUS430 as Mill Direct Supply, sourcing directly from major Chinese stainless steel mills (including Yongjin and other leading producers). This ensures competitive mill pricing, consistent quality, shorter lead times and full traceability. We offer thicknesses from 0.3 mm to 3.0 mm (thicker plates available on request), widths up to 1500 mm and coil or cut-to-length options. All materials are delivered with full Mill Test Certificates.

Chemical Composition
Chemical composition according to JIS G4305 (Heat Analysis):
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.12 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.75 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1.00 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.040 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.030 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 16.00 – 18.00 |
| Nickel (Ni) | ≤ 0.60 (typical) |
Note: The high chromium content forms a stable passive film that provides good corrosion resistance in mild environments.

FAQ
- What is the difference between 2B and BA finish for SUS430?2B is a smooth matte finish suitable for general fabrication. BA (Bright Annealed) has a high-reflectivity, almost mirror-like surface ideal for decorative and kitchen applications.
- Is SUS430 magnetic?Yes, SUS430 is a ferritic stainless steel and is fully magnetic.
- Can SUS430 replace 304?In mild corrosion environments and indoor applications, SUS430 can be a cost-effective alternative to 304, but it has lower corrosion resistance in chloride environments.
- What is the density of SUS430?Approximately 7.70 g/cm³.
- Do you supply SUS430 in coil or sheet form?Yes, both coil and cut-to-length sheets are available.
