Product Description:
410 and 420 stainless steel round bars and rods are high-strength martensitic stainless steels known for their excellent hardness, wear resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance. These grades are particularly suitable for applications requiring a combination of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
410 Stainless Steel
- A general-purpose martensitic stainless steel with good corrosion resistance and high mechanical properties.
- Suitable for applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance and high strength.
420 Stainless Steel
- Known as “cutlery grade” stainless steel, 420 offers excellent hardness and higher corrosion resistance compared to 410.
- Can achieve superior hardness after heat treatment.
Key Features of 410/420 Stainless Steel Bars and Rods
- High Strength: Excellent tensile and yield strength, suitable for structural applications.
- Wear Resistance: Outstanding wear resistance, especially in 420 after heat treatment.
- Corrosion Resistance: Moderate resistance to atmospheric, water, and mild chemical environments.
- Heat Treatable: Can be hardened through heat treatment to achieve higher strength and wear resistance.
- Magnetic Properties: Both grades are magnetic, even after heat treatment.
Common Applications
- Cutlery and Tools: Knives, surgical instruments, and cutting tools.
- Automotive: Engine components, shafts, and fasteners.
- Industrial: Pumps, valves, and heat-resistant structures.
- Oil and Gas: Downhole tools, pipeline components, and drilling equipment.
- Aerospace: Components requiring high strength and wear resistance.

FAQ
The main difference lies in carbon content: 420 has a higher carbon content, allowing it to achieve greater hardness after heat treatment compared to 410.
Both grades offer moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for less aggressive environments. However, 420 provides slightly better corrosion resistance than 410 due to its higher chromium content.
These grades are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, cutlery manufacturing, oil and gas, and industrial machinery due to their strength and wear resistance.
