ASTM F899 410 Martensitic Wrought Stainless Steels

What is 410 Stainless Steels? 410 is the primary martensitic stainless which reflects great mechanical properties after heat treatment. This type of steel has great impact strength, corrosion and scaling resistance.


Dimensional Characteristics of 410 Stainless Steels: The applicable thickness in millimeters for this 410 Stainless Steels ranges from 0.25 to 4 whereas the width in millimeters is from 600 to 1200. Moreover outer diameter of pipe in inches ranges from 0.5 to 8. In the case of rod the diameter in inches is from 1 to 8.


Available Forms in Market: Following are the available forms of 410 Stainless Steels:

  • Sheets
  • Round Bar
  • Forgings
  • Pipes

The Chemical Composition of 410 Stainless Steels: Chemical alloying compositions are explicated below

  • Maximum percentage of Carbon as defined in the standard is 0.15 whereas Minimum percentage of Carbon as defined in the standard is 0.01
  • Maximum percentage of Manganese as defined in the standard is 1
  • Maximum percentage of Phosphorus as defined in the standard is 0.04
  • Maximum percentage of Sulphur as defined in the standard is 0.03
  • Maximum percentage of Silicon as defined in the standard is 1
  • Maximum percentage of Nickel as defined in the standard is 1
