Stainless Steel 420 is a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel containing about 12–14% chromium and low carbon content, which can be heat treated for enhanced hardness. Mechanically, it boasts impressive tensile and yield strength, high hardness, good wear resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance. This alloy maintains toughness while offering outstanding durability, making it ideal for components that face mechanical stress and moderately corrosive environments. Its unique combination of strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability ensures dependable performance in both industrial and precision applications.

Stainless Steel 420 Bars and Rods are known for their excellent hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. They are a high-carbon steel that can be heat-treated for maximum hardness and are ideal for applications that require strength and durability, such as cutlery, surgical instruments, and valve parts.
Stainless Steel 420 has higher carbon content compared to other grades like 304 or 316, which allows it to be hardened through heat treatment. This makes it particularly suitable for applications that demand high strength, hardness, and wear resistance, although it may not offer the same corrosion resistance as other austenitic grades.
Stainless Steel 420 bars and rods find extensive use in automotive, aerospace, and industrial engineering sectors. They are perfect for crafting shafts, fasteners, cutting tools, valves, and precision machinery components that demand high hardness and wear resistance. Additionally, these bars and rods are well-suited for structural and marine components where moderate corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are crucial. Their ability to maintain dimensional stability and performance under repetitive stress makes Stainless Steel 420 bars and rods a go-to choice for engineers in search of reliable, long-lasting, and high-performance components.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
