MAGIVAL MG1 is the best known ferritic free machining stainless steel grade, developed for magnetic applications, and it has high machinability and corrosion resistance similar to type 430F. Magival steels are easily workable ferritic stainless steels developed for magnetic applications where high permeability and low coercive force are required. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SS-1159. Producer or source: Valbruna Stainless Steel.

MAGIVAL MG2 is a free machining ferritic stainless steel grade with the same high machinability and corrosion resistance as type 430F, but offering a higher magnetic permeability and lower coercive force than MG1 (Alloy Digest SS-1159, October 2013). Magival is a group of easily workable ferritic stainless steels developed for magnetic applications where high permeability and low coercive force are required. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SS-1161. Producer or source: Valbruna Stainless Steel.

CARPENTER STAINLESS TYPE 430F is a free-cutting steel and is recommended for faster cutting and lower costs when making machined articles from a stainless steel containing 14-18% chromium. It is used in automatic screw machines for parts that require good resistance to corrosion. Examples of such parts are aircraft components and gears. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-455. Producer or source: Carpenter.

CARPENTER STAINLESS TYPE 430F SOLENOID QUALITY offers much of the properties of 430 stainless steel, but through composition and processing maintains consistently high magnetic permeability and low residual induction. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-561. Producer or source: Carpenter.

AL Tech 416EZ and 430F are magnetic, free-machining stainless steels specifically designed for use in high-speed, automatic machining operations. These modifications retain, in so far as possible, the good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the basic compositions which they represent. Sulfur is added to produce the free-machining characteristics. AL Tech 416EZ is a martensitic stainless steel and 430F is ferritic. Data are typical; do not use for specification or final design. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: SS-359. Producer or source: AL Tech Specialty Steel Corporation.
