Stainless Steel 410 Explained
Stainless Steel 410 is a martensitic stainless steel alloy known for its high strength, excellent hardness, and good wear resistance. It offers moderate corrosion resistance along with the ability to be heat-treated for enhanced mechanical performance. Grade 410 is widely used in valves, pumps, turbine components, fasteners, and mechanical parts exposed to stress, pressure, and abrasion. Its combination of strength, toughness, and machinability makes Stainless Steel 410 ideal for critical engineering and power generation applications.
