Alloy 420, Characteristics of 420 Stainless Steel

Characteristics: 
Stainless steel 420 belongs to martensitic stainless steel which has high carbon content and high hardness.  High carbon content results in the formation of chromium carbide compounds, providing excellent wear resistance and edge retention when hardened. 
Alloy 420 is magnetic in both the annealed and hardened conditions. The material is generally fabricated by using hardening and tempering treatment while it is never used in the annealed condition. Alloy 420 is not normally used at temperatures exceeding 800°F (427°C) due to rapid softening and loss of corrosion resistance. 
Application of 420 Stainless Steel: 
Chemical Industry
Cement industry
Oil & Gas Industry
Paper & Pulp Industry
Food Processing Industry
Fabrication Industry
Heat Exchangers
Refinery Industry
Textile Industry
