410 Stainless Steel

DESCRIPTION 
Type 410 Stainless Steel is a martensitic stainless steel that provides good corrosion resistance plus high strength and hardness. It is magnetic in both the annealed and hardened conditions. A wide range of properties can be developed with different heat treatments. 
 
PRODUCT FORMS 
Sheet, Strip 
 
SPECIFICATIONS 
ASTM A240 
 
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS 
Flat springs, knives, kitchen utensils and hand tools 
 
PROCESSING 
Annealing: Heat slowly to 1500-1650°F, cool to 1100°F in furnace, air cool. Process Annealing: Heat to 1350-1450°F, air cool. Hardening: Heat to 1700-1850°F, air cool or oil quench. Follow by stress-relief or temper. Stress Relieving: Heat at 300-800°F for 1 to 2 hours, air cool. 
 
WELDING 
The martensitic alloys have limited weldability due to their hardenability. 
 
CORROSION 
Type 410 provides good corrosion resistance to air, water and some chemicals. It shows satisfactory resistance to nitric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, dilute acetic acid and naphtha. Resistance to food acids is good. 
 
FORMING 
Type 410 has reasonably good cold working properties and can be moderately drawn and formed in the annealed condition.
