Stainless steel 1.4006 410
Everything you need to know about chromium martensitic stainless steel X12CR13, 1.4006 410, AISI 410, according to EN 10088-1
What is Grade 1.4006 410 Stainless Steel?
Grade 1.4006 410 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant martensitic steel. Compared to many other steels, grade 1.4006 410 has a lower carbon content. For the same reason, it has good corrosion resistance. This type of stainless steel is in rod form and is not resistant to salts and sulfur compounds.
Grade 1.4006 410 stainless steel has the following properties:
- Martensitic
- Good corrosion resistance
- Hardenable
Why use stainless steel EN 1.4006 410?
The main reason for using 1.4006 410 stainless steel is to produce products or components that work in contact with steam and water. The quality of the steel works perfectly under these conditions.
In addition, stainless steel 1.4006 410 has excellent resistance to maleic, benzoic, adipic, arsenic, boric, gallic and malic acids. At low temperatures and concentrations, it is resistant to, among other things, nitric, chromic and potassium acid.
