440c Stainless Steel

GRADE STAINLESS STEEL 440C | AISI 440C | UNS S44004

Stainless Steel 440C is a high carbon chromium stainless steel. It has great corrosion resistance when hardened. It shows great resistance to wear and abrasion. It is magnetic in all conditions and yields the highest hardnesses of hardenable stainless steels.

440C Bearing Quality (BQ) is a Martensitic stainless steel with high strength, corrosion resistance and hardness obtained by low temperature heat treatment.

Typical Applications

  • Balls
  • Bearings
  • Races
  • Nozzles
  • Oil well pump parts
  • Valve parts
  • Cams
  • Aircraft parts

Cronidur® 30 Stainless Steel

Cronidur® 30, a stainless martensitic steel, has greater corrosion resistance then 440c, and is longer wearing. Applications include aviation, medical engineering, industrial applications, precision mechanics, and many more!

Cronidur® 30 is the ideal solution!

  • For tools and machine parts which need high toughness under static and dynamic stresses
  • For tools and machine parts which are in contact with very corrosive fluids or gases even under bad abrasive conditions
  • Compared to the commonly used tool steels 1.2316, 1.4112 and 1.4125 if higher corrosion resistance is requested
  • And/or if there are higher requirements concerning grindability and polishabilty to achieve better surface conditions
