It is magnetic in both the annealed and hardened conditions.
Case hardening 440c stainless steel.
Tight tolerance hardened 440c stainless steel.
Ak steel type 440a is a high carbon martensitic stainless steel developed to provide stainless properties with maximum hardness.
60 65 rc hardness in carbon product and 50 55 rc in 440c stainless steel.
Grade 440c stainless steel is a high carbon martensitic stainless steel.
440c uns designation s44004 is a martensitic 400 series stainless steel and is the highest carbon content from 400 stainless steel series.
440c is a hardenable chromium steel.
Selection of carbon potential also depends on the carburizing response of a particular steel.
This grade is magnetic at all times.
It is also used to make knife blades.
Consequently a high car bon potential may be suitable for short carbur izing times but not for prolonged carburizing.
Ball and roller bearings.
Grade 440c is capable of attaining after heat treatment the highest strength hardness and wear resistance of all the stainless alloys.
With a diameter that s held to a close tolerance this material is hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance.
Carburizing steels carburizing steels for case hardening usually have base carbon contents of approximately.
Maximum hardness and corrosion resistance are available only in the hardened or hardened and stress.
Northlake s state of the art induction hardening lines produce uniform case depths and consistent hardness end to end.
Tight tolerance bearing quality 440c stainless steel with certification.
Standard stock grades include 1060 carbon and 440c stainless.
440c can be oil quenched to achieve maximum hardness.
It has high strength moderate corrosion resistance and good hardness and wear resistance.
Northlake will custom manufacture to your hardness and case depth specifications.
It is usually heat treated to reach hardness of 58 60 hrc it is a bearing steel and used in rolling contact stainless bearings e g.
440c is a high carbon straight chromium high hardenability martensitic stainless steel generally supplied in the annealed condition with a maximum brinell hardness of 269 rc29 or annealed and cold drawn with a maximum brinell hardness of 285 rc31 characterised by good corrosion resistance in mild domestic and industrial environments including fresh water organic materials mild acids.
Stainless steel is associated with a loss of corrosion resistance as nitrogen and car bon react with chromium to form carbides nitrides thus withdrawing chromium from solid solution.
