JIS G4305 SUS430J1 Steel Plate | 430J1 BA/2B Stainless Steel
General Description
As a professional stainless steel supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present JIS G4305 SUS430J1 Steel Plate (also known as 430J1 stainless steel).
SUS430J1 is a ferritic stainless steel under the Japanese standard JIS G4305 for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheets and strips. It is an improved version of the standard SUS430 grade, designed to offer better corrosion resistance, improved formability and enhanced surface quality. With a chromium content in the 16–18% range and optimized residual elements, SUS430J1 provides reliable performance in mild corrosive environments while remaining fully magnetic and cost-effective. The most common surface finishes are 2B and BA.
SHH STEEL supplies SUS430J1 as Mill Direct Supply, sourcing directly from major Chinese stainless steel mills. This ensures competitive mill pricing, consistent quality, shorter lead times and full traceability. We offer thicknesses from 0.3 mm to 3.0 mm, widths up to 1500 mm, in coil or cut-to-length form. All materials are delivered with full Mill Test Certificates.
