Their dedication to innovation, competitive pricing, and reliable service has made them a go-to partner for various industries, from engineering to manufacturing, across South Africa and beyond.
Stainless Steel 420 Round Bars and Rods are martensitic stainless steels primarily made up of chromium (12–14%) and a moderate carbon content (up to 0.15%). This unique blend provides high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance after heat treatment. These bars typically showcase a tensile strength ranging from about 700 MPa to 850 MPa, with a yield strength around 345 MPa, depending on the tempering process. The material can be further hardened through heat treatment, boosting its wear resistance and mechanical strength. While it may not be as corrosion-resistant as austenitic grades, 420 stainless steel performs admirably in mild atmospheres and industrial settings where hardness is essential.
