410 Applications
When sufficient amounts of carbon are added to straight-chromium stainless steel, the alloy then has the capability to transform its microstructure through proper heat treatment (hardening) into one that will possess optimum strength, hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance.
The presence of sufficient chromium will impart the necessary corrosion resistance and form chromium carbine particles that enhance the wear resistance of the given alloy. The higher the carbon content, the greater the amount of chromium carbide particles, and the greater the strength and hardness for heat treatable straight-chromium stainless steel.
Applications for Alloy 410 include dental and surgical instruments, nozzles, valve parts, hardened steel balls and seats for oil well pump, separating screens and strainers, springs, shears, and wear surfaces.
Alloy 410 steel pipe is used where abrasion and wear resistance is needed, combined with fair resistance to general corrosion and oxidation. Pipelines transporting fluids mixed with solids like coal, sand or gravel utilize the high mechanical properties found in type 410.
