Introduction to Martensitic Stainless Steel

Martensitic stainless steel is a stainless steel with chromium as the main alloying element, and has the characteristic of being able to obtain high strength and hardness through heat treatment.

We handle various martensitic stainless steel products and provide optimal materials that meet our customers' diverse requirements.

We can supply in various forms such as plates, bars, pipes, and fittings, and provide services across a wider range of industries with material responsiveness and technical reliability that match your process conditions.

Typical Chemical Composition & Properties Typical
Chemical Composition
Tensile Strength Yield Strength Elongation Hardness* Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN)
11.5Cr - 0.15C* 450 205 20 187HB NA
Grade Description

A martensitic grade that can increase hardness and strength through heat treatment, strong against wear and impact but with moderate corrosion resistance.

Main Applications

Pump shafts, valve components, cutters, wear parts, etc.

410S (UNS: S41008)
Typical Chemical Composition & Properties Typical
Chemical Composition
Tensile Strength Yield Strength Elongation Hardness* Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN)
11.5Cr - 0.08C* 415 205 22 183HB NA
Grade Description

A low-carbon ferritic grade with excellent structural stability and weldability at high temperatures, and no hardening occurs due to heat treatment.

Main Applications

Heat treatment equipment, boiler components, exhaust systems, etc.

420J2 (UNS: S42000)
Typical Chemical Composition & Properties Typical
Chemical Composition
Tensile Strength Yield Strength Elongation Hardness* Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN)
12Cr - 0.15C 650 515 15 215HB NA
Grade Description

Suitable for cutting tools as it can secure high surface hardness through hardening heat treatment. Corrosion resistance is limited, so it is suitable for dry environments.

Main Applications

Industrial blades, gauges, musical instrument equipment, pump components, etc.
