440C Stainless Steel
440C Stainless Steel – High Hardness and Wear Resistance
Introduction to 440C Stainless Steel
440C Stainless Steel is a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance. Often used in applications requiring a durable edge and long-lasting performance, 440C is ideal for parts like bearings, cutlery, and molds. This alloy achieves one of the highest hardness levels among stainless steels, making it well-suited for high-stress applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and tooling.
