SS 430 2B Stainless Steel Sheet

Gangsteel produces SS 430 2B stainless steel sheet in full compliance with 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)

Whether you need JIS, ASTM, EN, GB, or any combination of these standards, Gangsteel delivers consistent quality, full traceability, and competitive pricing from our advanced Chinese production facilities.

 

What Is SS 430 2B Stainless Steel Sheet?

SS 430 2B stainless steel sheet is the go-to industrial finish for a nickel-free ferritic grade that balances performance and price perfectly. The 2B surface is created by cold rolling, annealing, pickling, and a final light skin-pass on polished rolls. This gives a smooth, slightly reflective matte silver-gray appearance (Ra 0.1–0.5 μm) that looks clean and professional without being overly shiny. It hides minor marks well, cleans easily, and offers solid corrosion resistance right out of the box.

Because it contains no nickel, SS 430 2B sheet keeps costs stable and is fully recyclable. You also get excellent thermal conductivity (about 26 W/m·K) and low thermal expansion, plus full magnetism for easy handling on production lines. It’s the practical choice when you need reliable everyday performance without paying for premium austenitic grades.

 

Chemical Composition

Our SS 430 2B sheets strictly conform to the chemical limits of all listed standards:

Element

Content (wt%)

Carbon (C)

≤0.12

Chromium (Cr)

16.00–18.00

Manganese (Mn)

≤1.00

Silicon (Si)

≤1.00

Phosphorus (P)

≤0.040

Sulfur (S)

≤0.030

Nickel (Ni)

≤0.75

This balanced chemistry delivers reliable corrosion resistance and good weldability without the brittleness issues you sometimes see in higher-carbon ferritics.

 

Mechanical Properties

Typical mechanical properties in the annealed condition (standard for 2B finish sheets):

Property

Value

Yield Strength (0.2% offset)

≥205 MPa

Tensile Strength

≥450 MPa

Elongation (50 mm gauge)

≥22%

Hardness (Rockwell B)

≤89 HRB

Hardness (Brinell)

≤183 HB

These numbers mean you can deep-draw, bend, or stamp without cracking, yet the material still holds up well in everyday structural use.

 

Available Specifications and Finishes

Gangsteel offers SS 430 2B stainless steel sheet in the following standard range (custom sizes available upon request):

  • Thickness: 0.3 mm – 3.0 mm (up to 6 mm on request)
  • Width: 600 mm – 2000 mm (slit or mill edge)
  • Length: Up to 6000 mm
  • Tolerance: Thickness ±0.03 mm, width ±0.5 mm, flatness ≤8 mm/m

While we also produce BA, NO.4, and HL finishes, the 2B finish remains the everyday favorite for industrial and structural work. All sheets are protected with PVC or PE film to stay scratch-free during shipping.

 

Manufacturing Process at Gangsteel

We start with high-purity AOD-refined melt to nail the chemistry. After hot rolling, the coils go through multiple cold-rolling passes on precision mills, then annealing and pickling to remove scale. A final light skin-pass on polished rolls creates the signature 2B surface. Every coil is checked with eddy-current testers and AI vision systems before it ships. You’ll receive full mill test certificates (EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2) plus any third-party inspection you request.

For customers who prefer the same grade in coil form or other finishes, we recommend our a240 Type_430 stainless steel sheet, EN10088 2 X6Cr17 stainless steel sheet, DIN 1.4016 stainless steel sheet, GB/T 10Cr17 1Cr17 stainless steel sheet, or JIS G4305 SUS 430 stainless steel sheet.

 

Key Advantages of Gangsteel SS 430 2B Sheet

  • Stable pricing thanks to zero nickel
  • Great formability for deep drawing and bending
  • Excellent thermal conductivity and low distortion
  • Magnetic for easy automated handling
  • Uniform matte finish that hides fingerprints and minor marks
  • Full traceability and third-party certification on every order

 

Wide Range of Applications

You’ll find SS 430 2B sheet everywhere from:

  • Refrigerator liners and washing machine panels
  • Commercial kitchen countertops and sinks
  • Elevator interiors and architectural cladding
  • Automotive interior trim and non-visible exhaust parts
  • Industrial conveyors, heat exchangers, and equipment guards

For Chinese-standard projects, we also supply the exact same material under GB/T 10Cr17 1Cr17 stainless steel sheet.

 

Why Choose Gangsteel?

We’ve spent decades perfecting ferritic stainless production on Japanese and European lines, so you get tight tolerances, beautiful flatness, and zero surface defects every time. Large stock means fast delivery (usually 15–30 days), and our MOQ starts at just 5 tons. Every order comes with complete mill test reports and any third-party inspection you need.

Whether you’re specifying JIS G4305 SUS430 2B, ASTM A240 430 2B, EN 1.4016 2B, or GB/T 3280 10Cr17 2B, Gangsteel delivers the same reliable quality at a price that makes sense.
