440C stainless steel application
It is mainly used to manufacture bearing parts working in corrosive environment and non-lubricated strong oxidizing atmosphere. 440C has good high-temperature dimensional stability, so it can also be used as a corrosion-resistant high-temperature bearing steel. In addition, it can also be used to manufacture high-quality knives, such as medical scalpels, scissors, nozzles, bearings, etc. 440F: It is a steel grade that improves the easy-cutting performance of 440C steel. It is used in automatic lathes and ordinary alloy steels have the characteristics of hardening through quenching. Therefore, a wide range of different mechanical properties can be obtained by selecting grades and heat treatment conditions. 440C has a lower ability to withstand dynamic loads.
440C stainless steel properties
440: High-strength cutting tool steel with slightly higher carbon content,
Higher
Yield strength, hardness can reach 58HRC,
It is among the hardest stainless steels. ***Common Applications
An example is "razor blades".
