General remarks:

  • AISI 410 is a martensitic steel (DIN 1.4006, X12Cr13) which can be hardened by heat treatment
  • Contains 11.5 – 213.5 wt% Chromium
  • Magnetic, hardened stainless steel
  • Hardened by heat treatment
  • Properties can be varied by different heat treatments
  • Provides sharp cutting edge after sharpening
  • Good corrosion resistance to most solvents, moderate corrosion resistance to salts and weak acids
  • Generally used where moderate corrosion resistance combined with high mechanical strength is required
  • Typical applications include scissors, probes, spatulas, knives, tools and springs
