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
