General Properties
Alloy 410 (UNS S41000) is a martensitic stainless steel plate containing approximately 12% chromium. It can be heat treated to achieve a wide range of mechanical properties, making it highly versatile.Alloy 410 stainless steel plate exhibits good corrosion resistance, especially in mild environments. It is suitable for applications where moderate corrosion resistance is required. The addition of chromium provides the alloy with its corrosion resistance properties.
Corrosion Resistance
Alloy 410 stainless steel plate exhibits resistance to atmospheric conditions, water, and some chemicals. It can be used in environments that contain weak or diluted acetic acid, naphtha, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid. The alloy is also resistant to acids found in food, making it suitable for certain applications in the food industry.Alloy 410 stainless steel plate can be utilized in slightly chlorinated and deaerated water environments. It performs well in oil and gas applications where deaerated conditions and low hydrogen sulfide are present.it is important to note that Alloy 410 stainless steel plate is prone to chloride attack, especially in oxidizing conditions. Chloride ions can initiate localized corrosion, such as pitting or crevice corrosion, in the presence of oxygen. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using Alloy 410 in chloride-rich environments.Alloy 410 stainless steel plate is well-suited for applications that require moderate corrosion resistance and high mechanical properties. Its combination of corrosion resistance, strength, and hardness make it suitable for a range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, and oil and gas.
Oxidation Resistance
Alloy 410 stainless steel plate resists oxidation up to 1292°F (700°C) continuously, and up to 1500°F (816°C) on an intermittent basis.

Fabrication Data
Heat Treatment
Annealing – Heat slowly to 1500 – 1650°F (816 – 899°C), cool to 1100oF (593°C) in furnace, air cool
Process Annealing – Heat to 1350 – 1450°F (732 – 788°C), air cool
Hardening – Heat to 1700 – 1850°F (927 – 1010°C), air cool or oil quench. Follow by stress-relief or temper
Stress Relieving – Heat to 300 – 800°F (149 – 427°C) for 1 to 2 hours, air cool
Tempering – Heat to 1100 – 1400°F (593 – 760°C) for 1 to 4 hours, air cool
Cold Forming
The alloy can be cold worked with moderate forming in the annealed condition.
Hot Forming
It is typically done in the 1382 – 2102°F (750 – 1150°C) range followed by air cooling. For smaller plate deformation such as bending, preheating should be done in the 212 – 572°F (100 – 300°C) temperature range. If a plate undergoes substantial deformation it should undergo a re-anneal or stress-relieving treatment at about 1202°F (650°C).
Machining
Alloy 410 stainless steel plate is best machined in the annealed condition at surface speeds of 60 – 80 feet (18.3 – 24.4m) per minute. Post machining decontamination and passivation are recommended.
Welding
Alloy 410 stainless steel plate is best machined in the annealed condition at surface speeds of 60 – 80 feet (18.3 – 24.4m) perDue to its martensitic structure, Alloy 410 stainless steel plate has limited weldability because of its hardenability. A post-weld heat treatment should be considered to assure the attainment of the required properties. When weld filler is needed, AWS E/ER 410, 410 NiMo and 309L are the most widely specified.minute. Post machining decontamination and passivation are recommended.
