Magnetic Stainless Steels
At Steel & Alloys, we take pride in offering a diverse range of magnetic stainless steels that cater to various industrial applications. Our selection includes AISI 410, AISI 420, AISI 416, AISI 421, AISI 431, and many more high-quality stainless steel grades. Let's explore the different shapes, sections, forms, sizes, production routes, and machinable conditions of these stainless steels:
**1. Stainless Steel Grades:**
- **AISI 410:** This martensitic stainless steel grade is known for its high strength, good corrosion resistance, and machinability. It is commonly used in applications where high mechanical properties are required, such as turbine blades, surgical instruments, and pump parts.
- **AISI 420:** A higher carbon content makes AISI 420 a harder and more wear-resistant stainless steel compared to 410. It finds applications in cutlery, surgical instruments, and molds due to its excellent strength and corrosion resistance.
- **AISI 416:** AISI 416 is a free-machining martensitic stainless steel with sulfur content that enhances its machinability. It is often utilized in components that require extensive machining like nuts, bolts, and pump shafts.
- **AISI 421:** This grade of stainless steel is strengthened with additions of nickel and copper, providing good corrosion resistance along with excellent toughness. It is used in applications requiring high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
- **AISI 431:** AISI 431 is a high-chromium stainless steel that offers excellent tensile strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in marine and pump shafts, as well as in applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.
