AK Steel
AK Steel Type 410 is a martensitic stainless steel that provides good corrosion
resistance plus high strength and hardness. It is magnetic in both the annealed
and hardened conditions. A wide range
of properties can be developed with
different heat treatments.
Applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance and high mechanical
properties are ideal for this alloy. Typical uses include flat springs, knives,
kitchen utensils and hand tools.
