Of the 400 series of stainless steels, 400C has the highest carbon content and moderate corrosion resistance and can heat-treat to the highest harness of RC 60. (In contrast, 416 is normally heat treated to RC 26/32)
Grade 302 is a slightly higher carbon version than 304. 302 stainless steel is an extremely tough, ductile grade that demonstrates superior corrosion resistance. It is a non-magnetic grade that is not hardenable by heat treating. It is generally used in the annealed condition and is noted for its ease of fabrication and formability.
Stainless steel 430 is a ferritic, straight chromium, non-hardenable grade, combining good corrosion resistance and formability characteristics with useful mechanical properties. Its ability to resist nitric acid attack permits its use in specific chemical applications but automotive trim and appliance components represents its largest fields of application. Alloy 430 has poor weldability compared to most […]
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.
