431 Steel The Perfect Raw Material for Heat Treatment Systems Requiring High Thermal Stability and Corrosion Resistance

Product Overview:
431 stainless steel is a martensitic chromium-nickel alloy engineered for applications demanding exceptional strength, magnetic properties, and moderate corrosion resistance. With 15-17% chromium content, it outperforms standard chromium steels in toughness and durability, making it ideal for deep-drawn components, automotive systems, aerospace parts, and chemical-resistant machinery. Perfect for bolts, shafts, valves, and food processing equipment, 431 steel combines machinability with heat-treatable versatility to meet your toughest industrial challenges.

✅ Key Benefits
1️⃣ Superior Strength & Durability

• High Tensile/Yield Strength: 152.2 KSI tensile strength | 7469 KSI (515 MPa) yield strength.

• Hardness Flexibility: 300-447 BHN (32-47 HRC) – adjustable via heat treatment for hardness or toughness.

2️⃣ Magnetic Versatility

• Naturally magnetic (martensitic structure), ideal for clamping systems, sensors, and electromagnetic applications.

3️⃣ Balanced Corrosion Resistance

• Resists mild acids, organic chemicals, and plastic processing (e.g., PVC) – avoid chloride-rich environments to prevent pitting.

4️⃣ Tailored Surface & Heat Treatments

• Nitriding/PVD/CVD: Boost wear resistance (Grade 3 → Grade 5+) or reduce friction.

• Passivation/Electropolishing: Enhance corrosion protection and aesthetic finishes.

Quality Management Department is establshed in the enterprise, which is responsible for the implementation of quallty management acrossall sectors, including QC, QA and implement and supervise various management system. The company reviews the Quality Manual byconducting management reviews annually to confirm its conformance, effectiveness and suitability.
