440C Stainless Steel
UNS S44004440C Stainless Steel
440C stainless steel is a high carbon Martensitic stainless steel. It has a moderate corrosive resistant with good strength. 440C stainless steel can be heat treated to achieve a hardness at or above 60HRC, and develops the highest hardness of all stainless steels. 440C stainless steel is magnetic in all conditions and has great wear resistance. 440C stainless steel can be cold worked and also responds to heat treat practices.
Common industry/applications for 440C stainless steel include: Bearings & Bushings, Valves, Knives and Cutlery, and Tooling.
Product forms include round bar, square and rectangle bar, and forgings.
