SS 420 Plates Features

• » Exceptional Hardenability: Features a higher carbon content than Grade 410, allowing it to be heat-treated to a Rockwell hardness of up to 50 HRC for extreme wear resistance.
• » Superior Edge Retention: The high hardness makes these plates ideal for industrial cutting tools, shear blades, and cutlery where maintaining a sharp edge is critical.
• » Optimized Corrosion Resistance: Provides maximum resistance to fresh water, steam, and mild acids when the surface is fully hardened and ground to a polished finish.
• » High Tensile Strength: Offers immense structural strength and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for heavy-duty mechanical parts and pressure-resistant components.
• » Abrasion & Erosion Resistance: Highly resistant to surface degradation caused by abrasive particles, essential for industrial molds, bushings, and pump internals.
• » Thermal Stability: Capable of maintaining its mechanical properties and resisting scaling in environments with temperatures reaching up to 650°C.
• » Magnetic Integrity: Being a martensitic grade, it is strongly magnetic in all conditions, which is advantageous for specialized electronic and mechanical applications.
• » Precision Machinability: While tough, the material can be effectively machined in its annealed state using standard carbide tooling before the final hardening process.
