  • ISO 4954 X6Cr17(International)

When hardware manufacturers search for 430 stainless steel, AISI 430 stainless steel, SUS 430 stainless steel, Grade 430 stainless steel, SS 430 stainless steel, 430 ferritic stainless steel, cold rolled 430 stainless steel, 430 stainless steel coil, 430 stainless steel sheet, 430 stainless steel plate, or a reliable 430 stainless steel supplier, 430 stainless steel exporter, 430 stainless steel for sale, and 430 stainless steel factory, they often specifically request material from top Chinese mill 430 stainless steel like Yongjin. As a direct Yongjin 430 agent, Gangsteel offers genuine China Yongjin 430 BA/2B with the brand premium that professional hardware brands trust.

Why 430 NO.4 Stainless Steel Plate Is Perfect for Hardware Manufacturing

Hardware products such as door handles, hinges, locks, cabinet fittings, brackets, and decorative accessories require a material that combines modern aesthetics, fingerprint resistance, durability, and cost efficiency. 430 NO.4 stainless steel plate for hardware delivers all of these advantages in one package.

The NO.4 finish is created by mechanically brushing the annealed and pickled plate with 150–320 grit abrasives, producing a fine, directional satin texture that effectively hides fingerprints, minor scratches, and daily wear — a critical feature for high-touch hardware items. This satin brushed look gives a contemporary, premium appearance that matches today’s modern interior and architectural designs while maintaining excellent cleanability.

As a nickel-free 430 ferritic stainless steel, it offers good atmospheric corrosion resistance in indoor and mild outdoor environments, superior thermal stability, and full magnetic properties that simplify assembly and installation. Compared to 304, 430 stainless steel material reduces material costs by 30–50% without sacrificing performance for most hardware applications.

  • Length: Up to 6000 mm for cut sheets
  • Tolerance: Thickness ±0.03 mm, width ±0.5 mm, flatness ≤8 mm/m

The NO.4 finish is the standard for hardware because of its fingerprint-resistant satin look and excellent durability. All plates are protected with PVC/PE film and packed in seaworthy crates for safe delivery.

For Chinese-standard hardware projects, the identical material is also available under GB/T 10Cr17 1Cr17 stainless steel sheet.

Manufacturing Process at Gangsteel & Yongjin Mill

As a direct partner of Yongjin Stainless Steel (Yongjin Mill), we start with high-purity AOD-refined material. Hot rolling is followed by cold rolling on precision mills for superior thickness uniformity. Annealing and pickling ensure a clean base, after which the plates undergo multi-stage mechanical brushing with 150–320 grit abrasives to create the uniform directional NO.4 satin surface. Every batch undergoes rigorous inspection and third-party certification (SGS, TUV, BV) for full traceability.

For Japanese-standard hardware projects, please see our JIS G4305 SUS 430 stainless steel sheet.
