Oil quenching these alloys from temperatures between 1800°F to 1950°F (982-1066°C) produces the highest strength and/or wear resistance as well as corrosion resistance. A range of as-quenched hardness is achieved in these alloys by varying the carbon level from 0.15% maximum in Type 410 alloy to 0.60-0.75% in ATI 440A alloy. These alloys are used where strength, hardness, and/or wear resistance must be combined with corrosion resistance. APPLICATIONS A major use for these grades of heat treatable stainless steels is in cutlery. Depending on the customer's end-use requirements, cutlery alloys are usually selected with respect to heat treating response, mechanical properties and fabricating characteristics. When sufficient amounts of carbon are added to straight chromium stainless steels, the alloy then has the capability to transform its microstructure through proper heat treatment (hardening) into one that will possess optimum strength, hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance. The presence of sufficient chromium will impart the necessary corrosion resistance and form chromium carbide particles that enhance the wear resistance of the given alloy. The higher the carbon content, the greater the amount of chromium carbide particles, and the greater the strength and hardness for heat treatable straight-chromium stainless steels. When blanking cutlery parts from annealed raw material stock, ATI 410, ATI 420 alloys and their higher carbon versions (ATI 410HC and ATI 420HC) will usually exhibit hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength that are low enough for fine blanking purposes. However, ATI 440A alloy is not readily amenable to fine blanking due to its higher strength and hardness in the annealed condition; and therefore, could require more powerful presses to blank parts. In addition, the presence of large primary carbides in ATI 440A alloy would tend to reduce die life. When buffing blanked parts, the higher hardness of ATI 440A alloy in the heat treated condition (hardened) would mean less residual buffing lines on the surfaces of parts but the large primary carbides could be dislodged during buffing which would produce scratches called “comet-tails”. Stainless steels lower in carbon content are essentially free of "comet-tails". Other applications for these grades include dental and surgical instruments, nozzles, valve parts, hardened steel balls and seats for oil well pumps, separating screens and strainers, springs, shears, and wear surfaces.

Their exposure to chlorides in everyday type activities (e.g., food preparation, sport activities...) is generally satisfactory when proper cleaning is performed after exposure to use.

Test samples had ground surfaces. Potentiodynamic anodic polarization measurements, as shown above, can be used to determine the relative resistance of a stainless steel to the initiation of localized chloride attack (pitting and crevice corrosion). With this technique the “breakdown potential” is measured, and is defined as the potential at which the anodic current increases rapidly due to initiation of localized attack. The more positive or noble the breakdown potential the more corrosion resistant the alloy. The above table presents the average break-down potential for the hardenable alloys as well as ATI 430 and ATI 409 alloys for comparison. The anodic polarization results show that alloys such as ATI 425 Mod, ATI 440A, and ATI 430 alloys with their higher chromium or combination of chromium and molybdenum contents are more resistant to localized chloride attack. FABRICATING PROPERTIES Machining These alloys should be machined in the annealed condition using surface speeds of 60 to 80 feet (18.3-24.4 m) per minute. Surface Preparation For maximum corrosion resistance to chemical environments, it is essential that the stainless steel surface be free of all heat tint or oxide formed during forging, annealing, or heat treating. All surfaces must be ground or polished to remove any traces of oxide and surface decarburization. The parts should then be immersed in a warm solution of 10-20% nitric acid to remove any residual iron. A thorough water rinse should follow the nitric acid treatment. Structure In the annealed condition, ATI 410, ATI 420, ATI 425 Mod, and ATI 440A alloys consist of ferrite and carbides. Higher carbon and higher chromium material such as ATI 440A alloys in the annealed condition will also contain large scattered primary carbides. When these alloys are heat treated at high temperatures [1800°F-1950°F (982-1066°C)] austenite will form and transform to martensite upon cooling to room temperature (i.e., air cool or oil quench). The hardness of the martensite will increase with increasing carbon content to a point where the martensite becomes saturated with carbon, hence ATI 440A alloys will exhibit a higher as-quenched hardness than ATI 410 alloys. Carbon also combines with carbide formers such as chromium to form chromium carbides which are dispersed throughout the micro-structure to provide added wear resistance, as does higher hardness. Forging The suggested initial forging temperature range for ATI 410, ATI 420 and ATI 425 Mod alloys is 2000-2200°F (1093-1204°C) and 1900-2200°F (1038-1204°C) for ATI 440A alloy. Forging or hot working should always be followed by annealing to avoid stress cracking. HEAT TREATMENT To anneal these alloys, heat to 1550°F-1650°F (843-899°C) for ATI 420, ATI 425 Mod, and ATI 440A alloys or 1500°F-1550°F (815-842°C) for ATI 410 alloy and hold for one hour per inch of thickness and furnace cool to room temperature. Such annealing should produce a Brinell hardness of 126-192 HB in ATI 410 material. The higher carbon alloys, ATI 420, ATI 425 Mod, and ATI 440A alloys, will have somewhat higher hardness values. A hardening heat treatment is necessary to bring out the maximum hardness and wear resistance. Since these materials absorb heat very slowly, they should be heated gradually and allowed to remain at temperature long enough to ensure uniform temperature in thick sections. For maximum strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance, slowly heat the alloy to 1800°F (982°C) for ATI 410 alloy and to 1850°F-1950°F (1010-1066°C) for ATI 420, ATI 425 Mod, and ATI 440A alloys and quench to room temperature in oil. For thin sections, air cooling can be substituted for the oil quench.

The as-quenched structure of fresh martensite is quite brittle and should be stress-relieved or tempered at approximately 400°F to 500°F (204-260°C) to restore some ductility. During tempering between approximately 300°F (149°C) and 600°F (316°C), a relaxation of the martensite structure occurs whereby the volumetric stresses associated with the formation of martensite upon quenching are relieved. As a result, the martensite still exhibits its high hardness and wear resistance properties but some ductility is introduced at the loss of a few points of hardness.
