ASTM A276 S44004/440C X105CrMo17/1.4125 EN 10088 Forged Stainless Steel Round Bar OD 250MM

AISI 440C is a high-carbon chromium steel designed to provide stainless properties with maximum hardness. It has been used primarily as a bearing steel, and is used in the hardened plus tempered condition. When heat-treated, Type 440C attains the highest hardness of any stainless steel (about Rockwell C 60).

Typical applications are bearing assemblies, including bearing balls and races. In addition, it should be considered for cutlery, needle valves, ball check valves, valve seats, pump parts, ball studs, bushings, and wear-resistant textile component

Supply Range for 440C Stainless Steel

440C steel round bar: diameter 1mm～400mm

440C stainless plate: 0.1-100 thickness x 500-2000mm width x 1000-6000mm length

Other steel shape, like 440c steel sheet, 440C coil, flat bar and customized sizes are available against request

5. Forging of 440C Stainless Steel

Preheat to 760oC – 820oC, then heat slowly and uniformly to 1050oC – 1150oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the 440c steel section and commence forging immediately. Do not overheat 440c stainless steel as this can cause a loss of toughness and ductility. Do not forge below 900oC. Finished forgings of SS 440c should be cooled slowly in a furnace, warm dry lime or ashes to room temperature and annealed immediately. Air cooling after forging may cause cracking of steel 440c.

6. Machinability of 440C Steel

ASTM Grade 440C stainless steel can be machined well, with all operations such as turning and drilling etc., in the annealed condition. Because of 440C SS high carbon content it machines somewhat like high-speed steel. Because chips are tough and stringy, chip curlers and breakers are important.

As heat treated, the 440 steel series are difficult to machine because of their high hardness. For parts that require extensive machining, the free-machining versions, Type 440F or Type 440F Se, offer improved machining properties.
