Grade 430A is a type of ME Stainless Steel Fibers which is widely used in Japan. It contains aluminum and has a higher melting point than the others.
The advantage of grade 430 A is that it has a lower condensation rate, higher hardness, higher friction, and the ability to resist oxidation than other grades (about 3-6 times).
