Introduction

AISI 420 stainless steel plate is a type of martensitic stainless steel known for its good balance of strength, hardness, and moderate corrosion resistance. It belongs to the 400 series of stainless steels, characterized by a martensitic microstructure achieved through heat treatment.

Composition

The primary element in AISI 420 is chromium, typically ranging from 12% to 14%. This chromium content provides the basic level of corrosion resistance. However, unlike some chromium-rich stainless steels, 420 does not contain nickel, making it a more cost-effective option. Manganese and carbon are also present in smaller amounts, further contributing to its strength and hardness.

Characteristics

Strength and Hardness: AISI 420 offers superior strength and hardness compared to other chromium-containing stainless steels like 410. This enhanced performance can be further improved through heat treatment processes like quenching and tempering. However, this comes at a slight trade-off in corrosion resistance.

Corrosion Resistance: While not the most corrosion-resistant stainless steel, AISI 420 provides adequate protection in many environments. Its corrosion resistance is improved by polishing the surface and keeping it clean.

Magnetic: Unlike some austenitic stainless steels, AISI 420 is magnetic in both its annealed and hardened conditions.

Heat Resistance: AISI 420 offers moderate heat resistance, able to withstand temperatures up to 650°C (1202°F).

Uses

Due to its combined strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance, AISI 420 stainless steel plate finds application in various industries, including:

Cutlery: Knives, blades, and other utensils can benefit from the good wear resistance and hardenability of 420 steel.

Aerospace components: Certain non-critical parts in aircrafts can utilize 420 due to its strength-to-weight ratio.

Automotive parts: Gears, valves, and other components requiring moderate corrosion resistance and wear resistance can be made from AISI 420.

Hardware: Applications such as springs, fasteners, and levers can benefit from the strength and hardness of 420.

Non-critical medical instruments: Some medical tools that don't require high levels of corrosion resistance can be made from 420 due to its affordability and machinability.
