410 Stainless Steel (1.4006)
Martensitic Stainless Steel Bars
Our Type 410 martensitic stainless steel bars are ideal for general engineering applications.
The alloy provides good atmospheric corrosion-resistant properties, further enhanced by additional processes such as hardening, tempering and polishing.
Hardening
The alloy offers impressive hardening capabilities, particularly once heat treated, although corrosion resistance is not as impressive compared to austenitic stainless steels. The alloy's strength reduces at elevated temperatures, and ductility is lost at sub-zero temperatures.
Product Suitability
410 stainless steel is widely used in the production of highly stressed components, including fasteners, valves, pumps, and gas turbines.
Corrosion Resistance
Annealed and heat-treated 410 stainless steel offers good atmospheric corrosion resistance as long as conditions are mild. Once hardened, the alloy also offers reasonable resistance to sulphide stress cracking and is moderately resistant to nitric acid, salt spray, sodium hydroxide, and humidity.
New Testing laboratory Testing laboratory
In 2024, our UKAS Materials Testing Laboratory relocated to a new, expanded, dedicated site in Biggleswade.
