Alloy 440C

Due to the presence of substantial levels of chromium, stainless steels have a higher corrosion resistance than ordinary steels. They are classified as ferritic, austenitic, or martensitic steels based on their crystal line structure. Precipitation-hardened steels make up another type of stainless steel. These steels are a mix of martensitic and austenitic.



Grade 440C stainless steel is a martensitic stainless steel with a high carbon content. It has a high tensile strength, a moderate resistance to corrosion, and a high degree of hardness and wear resistance. Grade 440C has the highest strength, hardness, and wear resistance of all stainless alloys after heat treatment. Due to its extremely high carbon content, 440C is well-suited for applications such as ball bearings and valve parts.
