| Sandmeyer Steel Company maintains an extensive inventory of 410S stainless steel plate and plate products to satisfy your requirements for an alloy that exhibits adequate corrosion resistance, good oxidation resistance and does not harden or crack when exposed to welding or high temperatures.
Ferritic stainless steels are straight-chromium 400 series grades that cannot be hardened by heat treatment and only moderately hardened by cold working. They usually have a chromium content of between 10 to 20% and lower carbon contents than the martensitic stainless steels. Ferritic stainless steels are magnetic, have good ductility and resistance to corrosion and oxidation. They are inherently stronger than carbon steel and are utilized in applications where thinner materials and reduced weight are advantageous. They are often specified due to their superior corrosion resistance and resistance to scaling at elevated temperatures. |
