Stainless Steel 410

Stainless steel 410 is the basic, general purpose martensitic stainless steel that is used for highly stressed parts and provides good corrosion resistance plus high strength and hardness. 410 stainless steel contains a minimum of 11.5% chromium which is just sufficient enough to demonstrate corrosion resistance properties in mild atmospheres, steam, and many mild chemical environments.

It is a general purpose grade that is often supplied in the hardened but still machineable condition for applications where high strength and moderate heat and corrosion resistance are required. Alloy 410 displays maximum corrosion resistance when it’s been hardened, tempered, and then polished.
 

Grade 410 stainless steels find applications in the following:

• Bolts, screws, bushings and nuts

• Petroleum fractionating structures

• Shafts, pumps and valves

• Mine ladder rungs

• Gas turbines

Chemical Composition

Mechanical Properties

* Annealed properties of cold finished bar, which pertain to Condition A of ASTM A276.

# Tempering of grade 410 steels should be avoided at temperatures of 425-600 °C, owing to associated low impact resistance.
