Characteristics of 410

Type 410 stainless steel displays high strength, heat resistance, and good ductility, making it ideal for the manufacturing of products like bolts, nuts, springs and fasteners, as it can be machined after tempering or annealing. This grade is also commonly used in the manufacturing of durable cutlery and kitchen utensils, where its properties allow it to resist the acidity of food products and general corrosion. Alloy 410 exhibits good corrosion resistance to atmospheric corrosion, potable water, and to mildly corrosive chemical environments because of its ability to form a tightly adherent oxide film which protects its surfaces from further attack. Its exposure to chlorides in everyday type activities (e.g., food preparation, sport activities...) is generally satisfactory when proper cleaning is performed after exposure to use. For maximum corrosion resistance to chemical environments, it is essential that the stainless steel surface be free of all heat tint or oxide formed during forging, annealing, or heat treating. 

Working with 410

To anneal this alloy, heat to 1550°F-1650°F (843-899°C). Such annealing should produce a Brinell hardness of 126-192 HB in ATI 410 material. A hardening heat treatment is necessary to bring out the maximum hardness and wear resistance. Since this material absorb heat very slowly, it should be heated gradually and allowed to remain at temperature long enough to ensure uniform temperature in thick sections. For maximum strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance, slowly heat the alloy to 1800°F (982°C). This alloy should be machined in the annealed condition using surface speeds of 60 to 80 feet (18.3-24.4 m) per minute. The initial forging temperature range is 2000-2200°F (1093-1204°C). Forging or hot working should always be followed by annealing to avoid stress cracking.
