The invention discloses 430 ferritic stainless steel for kitchen ware panels and a preparation method thereof. The 430 ferritic stainless steel comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 0.030-0.05% of C, 0.02-0.05% of N, 0.20-0.40% of Si, less than or equal to 0.20% of Ni, less than or equal to 0.35% of Mn, 16.00-16.50% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.035% of P, less than or equal to 0.010% of S, and the balance of Fe and inevitable
impurity elements. The equivalent value of
nickel is not greater than 2.00, and the equivalent value of
chromium is not less than 16.50. During preparation, a hot-rolled black
skin roll is subjected to cover annealing, acid
pickling, cold rolling, cold annealing and acid
pickling, leveling and other procedures to be prepared into a finished product with the required target thickness. The formula and the preparation process of the 430 ferritic stainless steel are scientific and reasonable, and the prepared stainless steel has higher ferritic stability and lower
hardness and yield strength, so that the material is more suitable for
stamping, can meet the requirement of
cost control in the kitchen ware industry, and is suitable for production and
processing of high-end kitchen ware.
