Product Description:
410 and 420 stainless steel forged fittings are high-strength and corrosion-resistant components designed for demanding industrial applications. Known for their excellent mechanical properties, these martensitic stainless steels offer superior hardness, wear resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of industries.
410 Stainless Steel
- General-purpose martensitic grade with good corrosion resistance and high strength.
- Easily hardened through heat treatment for improved wear resistance.
- Excellent for applications involving mild corrosion and high mechanical stress.
420 Stainless Steel
- Higher carbon content than 410, offering enhanced hardness and wear resistance.
- Commonly referred to as “cutlery grade” stainless steel.
- Provides moderate corrosion resistance in mild environments.
Key Features of 410/420 Stainless Steel Forged Fittings
- High Hardness: Exceptional wear and abrasion resistance.
- Corrosion Resistance: Moderate resistance to corrosion in mildly corrosive environments.
- Heat Treatable: Both grades can be hardened to enhance strength and wear resistance.
- Good Machinability: Easily fabricated with standard machining processes.
- Durable Performance: Suitable for high-stress applications.
Common Applications
- Petrochemical Industry: Piping systems exposed to mild corrosive agents and mechanical stress.

FAQ
The main difference lies in carbon content. 420 has higher carbon, offering greater hardness and wear resistance than 410, but slightly less corrosion resistance.
Yes, these fittings can perform well in moderately high-temperature applications. For sustained high temperatures, 410 is typically more suitable due to its chromium content.
They are suitable for mildly saline environments, but for highly corrosive or saline conditions, other stainless steel grades like 316 or duplex stainless steel are preferred.
