Home / Flat Bars
Stainless steel, particularly the 440C grade, is a material of choice for demanding applications that require high wear resistance and hardness. Ferrobend, a trusted manufacturer in the metalworking industry, provides premium 440C stainless steel flat bars designed to meet the needs of diverse sectors such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and manufacturing. Stainless Steel 440C is a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel that is known for its excellent hardness, strength, and wear resistance. It belongs to the 400 series of stainless steels and is one of the highest carbon content steels in the martensitic group. With its high level of carbon (up to 1.2%), 440C stainless steel offers superior hardness, which can reach up to 58-60 HRC when properly heat-treated. This makes it ideal for applications requiring cutting, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant qualities.
440C is typically used in the production of industrial components that must withstand harsh environments and intense mechanical stress. The material also offers a good balance between toughness and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications where both mechanical strength and environmental factors play a role. Ferrobend is a globally recognized manufacturer of high-quality metal products, including the highly sought-after 440C stainless steel flat bar.
Ferrobend sources premium-grade stainless steel for the manufacturing of 440C flat bars. The steel used is carefully selected to ensure consistency in quality and performance, providing enhanced reliability in various applications. The 440C flat bars from Ferrobend are engineered with precision, ensuring tight tolerances and superior flatness. This is crucial for applications that require highly accurate dimensions for machining and fabrication processes. After undergoing the appropriate heat treatment processes, Ferrobend’s 440C flat bars achieve maximum hardness, reaching up to 58-60 HRC. This makes them extremely wear-resistant and suitable for parts that will face abrasive conditions or high friction.
Although 440C stainless steel is primarily known for its hardness, it also offers excellent resistance to corrosion. The high chromium content of 440C stainless steel ensures that the material performs well even in moderately corrosive environments, including exposure to moisture, chemicals, and saltwater.
Ferrobend understands that different applications require different dimensions. As such, they offer stainless steel 440C flat bars in various thicknesses, widths, and lengths to meet the specific needs of your projects. Custom cutting and finishing options are also available to accommodate specific design requirements. Although stainless steel 440C is known for its high hardness, it still offers good machinability compared to other high-carbon steels. Ferrobend’s flat bars are designed for easy machining, making them ideal for industries that require precision parts, such as the automotive, aerospace, and toolmaking sectors.
