What is Stainless Steel 410?

410 stainless steel is a magnetic 11.5% minimum chromium all-purpose martensitic stainless steel providing favorable corrosion resistance and a broad scope of mechanical properties. The level of resistance can be enhanced by a process of heat treatment and is ideal for jobs requiring good corrosion resistance and high strength. 410 Stainless is a versatile grade due to its heat-treatability and its resistance to chemical atmospheric conditions.

Available Conditions

410 stainless steel is magnetic in all conditions. Pre-heated to ~400°F to prevent cracks, then commonly heat-treated at ~2000°F, 410 stainless steel offers superior versatility. We offer 410 in the QDT condition, which offers high tensile & yield strength, and elongation.

410 Stainless Steel
Possible Alternative Grades

The table below provides the suitable alternative grades to 410 stainless steels:

Grade Reasons for choosing the grade
416 High machinability is required, and the lower corrosion resistance of 416 is acceptable.
420 A higher hardened strength or hardness than can be obtained from 410 is needed.
440C A higher hardened strength or hardness than can be obtained even from 420 is needed.

Benefits of Using 410 SS

410 stainless steel offers several benefits that make it a popular choice across industries, including oil and gas, automotive, and manufacturing.

Corrosion Resistance

Grade 410 stainless steels are resistant to hot gases, steam, food, mild acids and alkalies, fresh water and dry air. These steels obtain maximum corrosion and heat resistance through hardening. However, grade 410 steels are less corrosion resistant than austenitic grades and grade 430 ferritic alloys containing 17% chromium. Smooth surface finish offers improved performance of steels.


Heat Resistance

Grade 410 steels have good scaling resistance at temperatures of up to 650 °C. However, the mechanical properties of the material will tend to reduce at temperatures ranging from 400 to 580 °C.


Heat Treatment

Annealing - Grade 410 steels can be fully annealed at temperatures from 815 to 900 °C, followed by slow furnace cooling and air-cooling. Process annealing of grade 410 steels can be carried out at temperatures ranging from 650 to 760 °C and air-cooled.

Hardening – Hardening of grade 410 steels can be performed at 925 to 1010 °C, followed by air and oil quenching. Heavy sections of grade 410 need to be oil quenched. Tempering, to enhance the mechanical properties and hardness of grade 410 steels, follows this process. It is not recommended to perform tempering at temperatures from 400 to 580 °C.


Welding

Grade 410 steels can be welded using all conventional welding techniques, but the materials should pre-heated at 150 to 260 °C followed by post-weld annealing treatment, to mitigate cracking. Grade 410 welding rods are recommended for tempering and post-hardening. In the "as welded" conditions, grade 309 filler rods can be used to achieve a ductile joint.

According to AS 1554.6 standards, grade 309 electrodes or rods are preferred for welding 410 steels.


Machining

Grade 410 steels can be easily machined in highly tempered or annealed conditions. However, it is hard to machine grade 410 steels if they are hardened above 30HRC. Free machining grade 416 is the best alternative.

How 410 Stainless Steel compares Compares to Other Alloys

Steel alloys like 410ss vary in composition, properties, and suitability for certain applications. Regardless of the alloy you choose, stainless steel offers excellent, reliable performance in your industry.

410 Stainless Steel vs 304

Compared to 410 steel’s composition, 304 stainless steel contains a higher percentage of chromium and nickel, giving it higher corrosion resistance, strength, and temperature resistance than 410 stainless.

However, 304 stainless steel comes at a higher price point, and 410 still offers good heat resistance and machinability. 304 stainless steel is commonly used in automotive applications, as well as in valves, dies, screws, and fasteners.


410 vs 316 Stainless Steel

316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which increases its corrosion resistance and improves its mechanical properties. Suitable for marine or coastal environments, 316 steel resists chloride ion corrosion or saltwater corrosion.

For applications that require moderate corrosion resistance, 410 stainless steel is a cost-effective alternative to 316 that provides good overall performance. Like 304 stainless steel, 316 is suited for valves, dies, screws, and fasteners.


410 vs 420 Stainless Steel

While 420 steel is more durable and stronger than 410 stainless steel, 410 is better suited for applications that require precision machining due to its ductility.

Alro stocks 410 stainless steel, a soft and ductile variety of stainless steel. This type 410 (martensitic) stainless steel strip is the most versatile and widely used of all the martensitic grades of stainless steel. In its annealed condition, it can be drawn, formed or shaped. As it is an air or oil quench hardening grade, subsequent heat treatments can be applied to achieve high strength levels. While Type 410 offers excellent resistance to scaling up to 1200 degrees F. and boasts impressive mechanical properties, it is not recommended for applications where severe corrosion is a concern. Type 410 is a popular choice for springs, scrapers, fasteners, hardware brackets, furnace parts and burners. It is magnetic in all conditions.
