SS 410 Stainless Steel Forgings
SS 410 is the stainless that can be hardened. Its martensitic structure reaches 40–45 HRC after quench and temper, offering wear resistance no austenitic grade can, with useful corrosion resistance in mild environments.

Hardenable Stainless
Roughly 12% chromium with enough carbon to form martensite means 410 responds to quench and temper like an alloy steel while retaining corrosion resistance — the combination pump shafts and valve stems need.
- Hardens to 40–45 HRC
- Corrosion resistant in mild media
- Good wear resistance
- Magnetic in all conditions
Limits of Its Corrosion Resistance
410 resists fresh water, steam and mild atmospheres, not chlorides or acids. Where seawater or aggressive chemicals are involved, an austenitic or duplex grade is required despite the loss of hardenability.
Applications
Pump shafts, valve stems and trim, steam turbine blades, fasteners for mild corrosive service, and wear parts in food and water handling equipment.
People also ask
How hard can SS 410 be made?
40 to 45 HRC quenched and tempered, which is what makes it the stainless of choice for pump shafts and valve stems.
Is SS 410 as corrosion resistant as 304?
No. It handles fresh water, steam and mild atmospheres but not chlorides or acids.

Questions Answered
Can stainless steel be hardened?
+
Martensitic grades like 410 can, reaching 40–45 HRC. Austenitic grades such as 304 and 316 cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
Is 410 as corrosion resistant as 304?
+
No. It handles fresh water, steam and mild atmospheres but not chlorides or acids.
What are typical 410 applications?
+
Pump shafts, valve stems and trim, turbine blades and wear-resistant parts in mildly corrosive service.
Is 410 magnetic?
+
Yes, in all heat treatment conditions, unlike austenitic stainless grades.
