Product Description
AISI 440C DIN 1.4125 Stainless Steel Round Bar
1: 440C Stainless Steel Introduction
ASTM A276 standard grade 440c stainless steel is a high carbon martensitic stainless steel, which is 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).
AISI 440C steel is characterized by good corrosion resistance in mild domestic and industrial environments, including fresh water, organic materials, mild acids, various petroleum products, coupled with extreme high strength, hardness and wear resistance when in the hardened and tempered condition. Grade 440C stainless steel is capable of attaining, after heat treatment, the highest strength, hardness and wear resistance of all the stainless alloys. Small AISI 440C steel sections can be air cooled and quite large sections oil quenched for maximum through hardness.

6: 440C Steel Application
ASTM 440C steel has been widely used for parts requiring a combination of excellent wear resistance, plus reasonable corrosion resistance.
ASTM Stainless Steel 440C is used typically in the following applications:

8: Heat Treatment of 440C Stainless Steel
Hot Working
AISI grade 440C stainless steel is pre-heated at 760°C (1400°F). Temperature can be increased up to 1038-1204°C (1900-2200°F). It should not be heated below 927°C (1700°F). It is then slowly cooled at room temperature and fully annealed.
Cold Working
ASTM Grade Steel 440C is slightly cold workable using common practices.
Annealing of 440C Steel
For maximum softness, AISI 440C steel is annealed at 843-871°C (1550-1600°F), followed by slowly cooling in the furnace.
Tempering of 440C Stainless Steel
Stainless 440C steel can be tempered by soaking at 148°C (300°F). Steel 440c hardness at approximately Rockwell C 60 will be obtained. To remove peak stresses and yet retain maximum hardness, temper at least one hour at 300/350oF (149/177oC).
Hardening of 440C Steel
Stainless steel 440C grade can be hardened by heating at 760°C (1400°F). Temperature can be increased up to 1010°C (1850°F) followed by quenching in warm oil or cool in air. However, don’t overheat, because when overheated, full hardness cannot be obtained.
7: Corrosion Resistance
AISI stainless 440C steel has a corrosion resistance somewhat similar to 410 grade, but lower than 431 grade, also lower than most of the 400 series ferritic stainless steels and all of the 300 series austenitic stainless steels.
8: Delivery Condition
For hot forged bar, usually the delivery condition is hot forged, annealed/QT rough turned/Black surface.
For hot rolled bar, usually the delivery condition is hot rolled, annealed/QT, Black surface.
For hot forged plate, usually the delivery condition is hot forged, annealed/QT, milled surface
For hot rolled plate, usually the delivery condition is hot rolled, annealed/QT, black surface.
