Product Overview:

ASTM A276 410 Stainless Steel Rod is a martensitic stainless steel grade that combines good corrosion resistance with high strength and excellent hardness.

This material is primarily used in applications that require a balance of wear resistance, strength, and moderate corrosion resistance. It is composed of 11.5-13.5% chromium, making it less resistant to corrosion compared to austenitic stainless steels like 304 or 316, but more resistant than carbon steel. ASTM A276 410 stainless steel rod is commonly used in applications such as valves, pumps, fasteners, and general industrial components that require moderate corrosion resistance and high hardness.

Unique Features:

ASTM A276 410 Stainless Steel Rod is known for its high tensile strength and hardness, which makes it ideal for use in applications requiring good wear resistance and durability. While it has lower corrosion resistance than other stainless steels like 304 or 316, it performs well in moderately corrosive environments. The alloy is magnetic, unlike austenitic stainless steels, and can be hardened through heat treatment, making it suitable for applications where high strength and hardness are needed. It is also easy to machine and weld, providing excellent versatility for various industries.

Applications:

• Valves and Pump Components: Used in industrial valves, pumps, and their parts due to its strength and wear resistance.
• Fasteners: Commonly used in bolts, nuts, and screws in automotive and construction industries, especially where moderate corrosion resistance is sufficient.
• Cutlery and Kitchen Tools: Ideal for kitchen knives, scissors, and other cutting tools where hardness is important for cutting performance.
• Industrial Equipment: Employed in manufacturing tools, gears, and shafts in machinery and equipment, especially in applications requiring wear resistance.
• Automotive Parts: Suitable for automotive components like exhaust parts, gears, and crankshafts where strength and moderate corrosion resistance are critical.
