With our commitment to delivering the best materials, we ensure that our Stainless Steel 440C Bars and Rods meet the highest industry standards, making us the trusted choice for businesses across various sectors.
Stainless Steel 440C Bars and Rods are a type of martensitic stainless steel, containing about 16–18% chromium and a high carbon content of around 0.95–1.20%, along with elements like manganese, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur. This alloy is known for its remarkable hardness and wear resistance, especially after heat treatment. Its mechanical properties boast a high tensile strength ranging from 760 to 1,900 MPa, a yield strength of about 450 MPa, and decent impact toughness. With its impressive hardness and moderate corrosion resistance, it’s an excellent choice for applications that require outstanding strength and edge retention.

Stainless Steel 440C Bars and Rods are known for their high hardness, achieving up to 58-60 HRC when heat-treated. This makes them ideal for applications requiring excellent wear and abrasion resistance.
Stainless Steel 440C offers good corrosion resistance in mild environments, but for more aggressive conditions (like exposure to saltwater), it is recommended to use more corrosion-resistant stainless steel grades like 316 or 317.
Stainless Steel 440C is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and medical fields for components like bearings, valve parts, cutting tools, and high-precision machinery.
These Stainless Steel 440C Bars and Rods find their way into various industries where high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are crucial. Common uses include the production of precision bearings, ball bearings, valve components, surgical instruments, knives, and cutting tools. They’re also utilized in aerospace parts, gauges, and molds that require high dimensional stability and wear performance. Thanks to their ability to maintain hardness up to 60 HRC after proper heat treatment, these bars and rods are the go-to option for applications that involve heavy wear, edge retention, and long-lasting durability in moderately corrosive environments.
