HSA produces 440C grade stainless steel

440C Stainless Steel Characteristics

440C is a general purpose hardenable stainless steel which can be heat treated to the highest room temperature hardness and strength level of all the common heat resisting and corrosion resistant steels. It is used for many applications where corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance coupled with high strength and wear resistance are required, and has found excellent acceptance in the aircraft, missile, and automotive industries. 440C meets all the provisions of the latest issues of AMS5630, AMS5880, ASTM A756 and other applicable specifications.

Since HSA is primarily a specialty wire drawing plant, we specialize in rounds in the size range of .050”-.530”. Material can be supplied in 12’ bars in the cold drawn or centerless ground condition, in coil form as cold drawn wire, or shaved and polished for special seam free or defect free requirements. In addition we can offer cut blanks from 2”- 8” long, in the cold drawn, centerless ground and precision ground condition.

Additional Applications for Moderately Elevated Temperatures:

Springs
Valve trim and parts
