Type 420 stainless steel is a general purpose steel and possesses similar qualities to the 410 grade, but contains more carbon which provides improved hardness and strength when heat treated. 420 stainless has good mechanical and machining properties.
Stainless Steel 416 is a corrosion resistant chromium steel alloy that is non-seizing, non-galling, free machining metal widely used in automatic screw machines. Its short brittle chips make it ideal for increased machining speeds, larger cuts, and longer tool life.
Type 403 stainless is a corrosion and heat resistant 12% Cr martensitic alloy, very similar to stainless type 410, with the exception of a slightly lower maximum silicon content and a slightly lower maximum chromium content. Good levels of strength, toughness and ductility may be obtained with this alloy.
17-4, also known as 630 stainless, can be heat treated to high levels of strength and hardness, and good for machining and is corrosion resistant. Often used in petroleum and chemical industries, as well as in aircraft parts.
