Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What makes AISI 420 suitable for knives and cutting tools?
   • AISI 420 is heat-treated to achieve high hardness, which allows it to maintain a sharp edge and resist wear, making it ideal for cutting tools and knives.
2. Can AISI 420 be welded?
   • Sim, AISI 420 can be welded, but it may require preheating and post-weld heat treatment to avoid cracking and to ensure the material maintains its strength and corrosion resistance.
3. Is AISI 420 resistant to rust and corrosion?
   • AISI 420 provides good resistance to corrosion in mild environments but is less resistant than austenitic stainless steels like AISI 304. It’s best suited for moderately corrosive environments, such as fresh water and mild acids.
4. What is the typical hardness of AISI 420?
   • AISI 420 typically achieves a hardness range of 55-60 HRC after heat treatment, making it suitable for demanding applications like cutting tools and industrial instruments.
5. How does AISI 420 compare to AISI 304 in terms of corrosion resistance?
   • AISI 420 has lower corrosion resistance than AISI 304, as it is a martensitic steel. It is more prone to corrosion in highly corrosive environments, whereas AISI 304 is better suited for such conditions.
6. What is the tensile strength of AISI 420?
   • The tensile strength of AISI 420 typically ranges between 600-800 MPa, making it suitable for high-stress applications such as surgical tools and industrial machinery components.
