Phehlukwayo Metal is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 420 Flat Bars, proudly based in Cape Town, South Africa. The company focuses on delivering top-notch stainless steel products that are celebrated for their hardness, resistance to corrosion, and outstanding machinability. Crafted through advanced metallurgical processes and precise rolling techniques, these flat bars boast exceptional dimensional accuracy, consistent mechanical properties, and a sleek surface finish. Catering to industries like cutlery, tooling, automotive, and manufacturing, Phehlukwayo Metal guarantees dependable materials for applications that require durability, strength, and long-lasting performance in both regular and mildly corrosive environments.
Stainless Steel 420 Flat Bars are martensitic stainless steels primarily made of iron, containing 12–14% chromium and a carbon content ranging from 0.15–0.40%, along with small amounts of manganese, silicon, and other elements. This unique composition results in impressive hardness, high tensile strength, and moderate resistance to corrosion. The 420 stainless steel can be heat-treated to achieve even greater hardness, making it ideal for wear-resistant applications. It also offers good machinability, polishability, and edge retention, striking a balance between toughness and precision performance for tooling and engineering components.
