410 is a general-purpose martensitic stainless steel that can be heat-treated to achieve high hardness and tensile strength. It offers moderate corrosion resistance for non-critical industrial applications.
Key Properties
Hardness: Can be hardened by heat treatment to achieve high tensile strength.
Wear Resistance: Excellent resistance to abrasion and wear after hardening.
Corrosion: Moderate resistance to mild atmospheres, fresh water, and steam.
Machinability: Good machinability in the annealed condition.
Common Applications
Fasteners: High-strength bolts, nuts, screws, and studs.
Pumps & Valves: Shafts, bushings, valve seats, and trim components.
Automotive: Pump parts, turbine blades, and non-critical engine components.
Cutlery: Knife blanks, surgical instrument components, and razor blades.
