434 Stainless Steel (UNS S43400) is a ferritic, non-hardenable stainless steel that includes molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance compared to 430 stainless steel. Known for its excellent resistance to chloride attack, it is ideal for exterior applications where corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties are required.

434 Stainless Steel is often selected for applications where resistance to chlorides and slightly acidic conditions is necessary, including:
While 430 Stainless Steel provides adequate corrosion resistance for general uses, 434 Stainless Steel offers enhanced resistance to chloride and sulfur exposure due to its molybdenum content. This makes 434 a preferred choice for environments prone to salt exposure and for applications that require slightly better durability than 430.
