Stainless Steel - Grade 410 (UNS S41000)

410 is the basic martensitic grade stainless steel. They are optimised for high hardness, although other properties can be compromised. Corrosion resistance is aided by hardening. Typical applicatiosn include fasteners, bushings, pumps and valves, steam and gas turbine parts and petroleum refineries
