CarTech 430 stainless is a corrosion- and heat-resisting 17% chromium ferritic stainless steel which has been used for all types of decorative trim.

Applications:
Many pieces of bright trim on automobiles have been made of CarTech 430 stainless, such as body molding, door handles, hub caps, instrument panel trim, finishing washers, bumper medallions, and gas tank caps. The color, when buffed, is very close to that of chromium plate. It also has been used for trim on cameras, vending machines, counters and showcases, electrical appliances and a host of other things that need dressing up to increase their marketability. It is equally applicable to finished hardware and moldings used in the building trades.
