S.S. 410 and 420 forged fittings are martensitic stainless steel grades known for their high hardness, wear resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance, making them suitable for applications requiring strength and durability. Here's a more detailed breakdown:Key Characteristics and Properties:

• Martensitic Stainless Steels:Both 410 and 420 are martensitic stainless steels, meaning they can be hardened through heat treatment. 
• High Hardness and Wear Resistance:These grades are known for their excellent hardness and wear resistance, making them suitable for applications involving abrasion or high friction. 
• Moderate Corrosion Resistance:While not as corrosion-resistant as austenitic stainless steels, 410 and 420 offer good resistance to mild corrosive environments, particularly when hardened and tempered. 
• 420 vs. 410:Grade 420 typically has a higher carbon content than 410, resulting in enhanced hardness and wear resistance, but potentially slightly reduced corrosion resistance in certain conditions. 
• Forging Process:The forging process involves heating the steel to a high temperature and then shaping it using compressive forces, resulting in a strong, durable component. 
• Heat Treatment:After forging, these grades often undergo heat treatments like annealing, hardening, and tempering to optimize their mechanical properties. 
• Applications:These forged fittings are used in various applications, including:
  • Medical Instruments: Surgical tools and dental instruments. 
  • Cutlery: Knives, razors, and cutters. 
  • Hand Tools: Chisels and screwdrivers. 
  • Pumps and Shafts: Machine components. 
  • General Purpose: Applications requiring high strength and moderate corrosion resistance.
