Stainless Steel 431 (UNS S43100) is a high-strength martensitic stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, and superior tensile strength. It is widely used in aerospace, marine, chemical, and automotive applications where both strength and corrosion resistance are key.
MOKSH TUBES & FITTINGS LLP supplies and stocks an extensive range of Stainless Steel 431 products, including pipes, tubes, sheets, plates, coils, flanges, fasteners, bars, rods, and precision-engineered components. It provides high resistance to mild acids, freshwater, and a variety of industrial chemicals. After heat treatment, this grade offers exceptional hardness and mechanical properties, making Stainless Steel 431 one of the most versatile grades in the 400-series category. The Stainless Steel 431 density is approximately 7.75 g/cm³, providing a balance between corrosion resistance, durability, and machinability.

STAINLESS STEEL 431 is used across industries that demand high strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance in moderate environments:
Used in aircraft fittings, landing gear components, shafts, and fasteners requiring high tensile strength and toughness.
Ideal for propeller shafts, pump shafts, and marine fasteners with resistance to seawater corrosion.
Used for reactors, valves, pumps, and components exposed to mildly corrosive media and chemical solutions.
Widely used in axles, drive shafts, and components exposed to vibration, stress, and moderate corrosion.
Applications include valve parts, pump impellers, and structural elements exposed to drilling environments.
Used in equipment handling chloride-rich or acidic chemical streams.
Ideal for heavy-duty components and fasteners requiring superior strength under extreme stress conditions.
Stainless Steel 431 is widely used in aerospace, marine, oil & gas, and automotive applications where strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance are required.
Yes. Being a martensitic stainless steel, it is magnetic both in annealed and hardened conditions.
Welding is possible, but preheating and post-weld heat treatment are recommended to minimize cracking and maintain mechanical strength.
Stainless Steel 431 has higher hardness and tensile strength than 304 or 316 but slightly lower corrosion resistance, making it suitable for mechanical and structural use.
MOKSH TUBES & FITTINGS LLP supplies SS 431 in pipes, tubes, sheets, plates, coils, flanges, fittings, fasteners, bars, rods, and customized components engineered for precision projects.
