410 Stainless Steel Plate is a type of martensitic stainless steel that contains 11.5-13.5% chromium.
410 Stainless Steel Plate is a magnetic and heat-treatable alloy with good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in various applications such as cutlery, steam and gas turbine blades, turbine parts, and surgical instruments. It also has excellent resistance to nitric acid and is often used in the manufacture of petroleum refining and chemical processing equipment.
410 Stainless Steel Plate can be easily machined, welded, and polished, but it is not recommended for use in acidic or high-temperature environments. When used in the annealed condition, it can be hardened by heat treatment to increase its strength and wear resistance.
410 stainless steel plate is a highly versatile and durable material, widely recognized for its excellent mechanical properties. As a martensitic stainless steel, it offers a balance between strength, hardness, and moderate corrosion resistance. These properties make 410 stainless steel plate ideal for applications that require high wear resistance, heat treatment capabilities, and structural integrity in mild corrosive environments.
410 stainless steel belongs to the martensitic family of stainless steels, known for its heat-treatable properties. This alloy contains chromium as its primary alloying element, which provides corrosion and oxidation resistance. However, 410 is unique because it can be hardened through heat treatment, resulting in increased strength and hardness.
410 stainless steel plate is a reliable and durable material that balances strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. With its heat-treatable properties and excellent wear resistance, it is used across various industries, including automotive, oil and gas, and medical equipment manufacturing. Although it may not offer the same level of corrosion resistance as austenitic stainless steels, 410 remains a cost-effective and versatile option for many industrial applications.
Heat treating stainless steel improves its corrosion resistance and achieves high strength levels while still retaining good toughness and ductility.
410 stainless steel in the quenched and double tempered (QDT) condition provides an optimal balance of strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance for demanding applications, including those in the oil and gas industries.
In the QDT condition, 410 SS has a hardness between 207 and 235 BHN, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications due to its abrasion resistance.
When heat-treated, 410 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance to mild chemicals, water, and atmospheric conditions.
Due to its resistance to corrosion, 410 stainless steel is commonly used in human interactive environments such as cutlery, kitchen utensils, and dental equipment.
For 410 stainless steel’s best corrosion resistance to synthetic settings, it is crucial that the surface of 410 be free of all heat and oxide build up from construction, annealing, or treatment.
The martensitic, magnetic alloy 410 contains between 11.5 and 13.5% chromium, as well as nickel, manganese, silicon, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, and iron.

The table below provides the suitable alternative grades to 410 stainless steels:
| Grade | Reasons for choosing the grade |
|---|---|
| 416 | High machinability is required, and the lower corrosion resistance of 416 is acceptable. |
| 420 | A higher hardened strength or hardness than can be obtained from 410 is needed. |
| 440C | A higher hardened strength or hardness than can be obtained even from 420 is needed. |
410 stainless steel offers several benefits that make it a popular choice across industries, including oil and gas, automotive, and manufacturing.
Grade 410 stainless steels are resistant to hot gases, steam, food, mild acids and alkalies, fresh water and dry air. These steels obtain maximum corrosion and heat resistance through hardening. However, grade 410 steels are less corrosion resistant than austenitic grades and grade 430 ferritic alloys containing 17% chromium. Smooth surface finish offers improved performance of steels.
Grade 410 steels have good scaling resistance at temperatures of up to 650 °C. However, the mechanical properties of the material will tend to reduce at temperatures ranging from 400 to 580 °C.
Annealing - Grade 410 steels can be fully annealed at temperatures from 815 to 900 °C, followed by slow furnace cooling and air-cooling. Process annealing of grade 410 steels can be carried out at temperatures ranging from 650 to 760 °C and air-cooled.
Hardening – Hardening of grade 410 steels can be performed at 925 to 1010 °C, followed by air and oil quenching. Heavy sections of grade 410 need to be oil quenched. Tempering, to enhance the mechanical properties and hardness of grade 410 steels, follows this process. It is not recommended to perform tempering at temperatures from 400 to 580 °C.
Grade 410 steels can be welded using all conventional welding techniques, but the materials should pre-heated at 150 to 260 °C followed by post-weld annealing treatment, to mitigate cracking. Grade 410 welding rods are recommended for tempering and post-hardening. In the "as welded" conditions, grade 309 filler rods can be used to achieve a ductile joint.
According to AS 1554.6 standards, grade 309 electrodes or rods are preferred for welding 410 steels.
Grade 410 steels can be easily machined in highly tempered or annealed conditions. However, it is hard to machine grade 410 steels if they are hardened above 30HRC. Free machining grade 416 is the best alternative.

Compared to 410 steel’s composition, 304 stainless steel contains a higher percentage of chromium and nickel, giving it higher corrosion resistance, strength, and temperature resistance than 410 stainless.
However, 304 stainless steel comes at a higher price point, and 410 still offers good heat resistance and machinability. 304 stainless steel is commonly used in automotive applications, as well as in valves, dies, screws, and fasteners.
316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which increases its corrosion resistance and improves its mechanical properties. Suitable for marine or coastal environments, 316 steel resists chloride ion corrosion or saltwater corrosion.
For applications that require moderate corrosion resistance, 410 stainless steel is a cost-effective alternative to 316 that provides good overall performance. Like 304 stainless steel, 316 is suited for valves, dies, screws, and fasteners.
While 420 steel is more durable and stronger than 410 stainless steel, 410 is better suited for applications that require precision machining due to its ductility.
