430 Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Density

Gangsteel produces 430 cold rolled stainless steel with full compliance to the leading international standards. We can manufacture to any of the following major specifications to meet your exact project requirements:

  • JIS G4305 SUS430(Japan)
  • ASTM A240 Type 430(USA)
  • EN 10088-2 1.4016 / X6Cr17(Europe)
  • DIN EN 1.4016(Germany)
  • GB/T 3280 10Cr17 / 1Cr17(China)
  • BS 1449 430S17(United Kingdom)
  • ISO 4954 X6Cr17(International)

The density of 430 stainless steel is a key physical property that remains constant regardless of cold-rolled condition, finish (2B, BA, NO.4, etc.), or thickness.

Density of 430 Cold Rolled Stainless Steel

Density: 7.70 g/cm³ (7700 kg/m³)

This value is the same across all major standards (ASTM A240, JIS G4305, EN 10088-2, GB/T 3280, etc.) and applies to both annealed and cold-rolled states. The relatively low density compared to austenitic grades like 304 (8.00 g/cm³) makes 430 an excellent choice for weight-sensitive applications while still delivering good strength and corrosion resistance.

Why Density Matters for 430 Cold Rolled Sheet and Coil

  • Weight calculation— Easier to estimate shipping costs and structural loads
  • Thermal applications— Combined with high thermal conductivity (≈26 W/m·K), the lower density helps reduce overall component weight
  • Magnetic handling— The ferritic structure remains fully magnetic at 7.70 g/cm³, aiding automated production lines
