1. Chemical composition: 430 stainless steel contains about 17% chromium, while 304 stainless steel contains 18% to 20% chromium and 8% to 10.5% nickel. 304 stainless steel has higher corrosion resistance and is suitable for more environments.
2. Magnetic difference: 430 stainless steel is magnetic and can be used for magnetic applications, such as refrigerator doors. In contrast, 304 stainless steel is usually non-magnetic and not suitable for situations that require non-magnetic properties.
3. Strength and toughness: 304 stainless steel has better strength and toughness than 430 stainless steel because it contains more alloying elements. This makes 304 more suitable for applications that require high strength and durability.
4. Application areas: Due to its lower price and moderate corrosion resistance, 430 stainless steel is commonly used for general purposes, such as kitchen appliances. 304 stainless steel is commonly used in fields such as food processing and medical equipment that require higher material quality and hygiene.
