Garg Steels, a prominent manufacturer and supplier based in Chennai, India, specializes in high-quality Stainless Steel 420 Bars designed for tough applications that demand exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and a polished finish. This high-carbon martensitic stainless steel is celebrated for its impressive mechanical strength and decent corrosion resistance after heat treatment. At Garg Steels, every bar is crafted with precision and a commitment to international standards, ensuring they are durable and dimensionally accurate. These bars find their place in various industries, including toolmaking, medical instruments, automotive parts, and industrial equipment, where top-notch materials are essential for success.
Stainless Steel 420 Bars generally consist of 12–14% chromium and 0.15–0.40% carbon, along with trace amounts of manganese, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur. As a martensitic stainless steel, 420 boasts high tensile strength (700–950 MPa), remarkable hardness (up to 50–56 HRC after heat treatment), and moderate corrosion resistance in less aggressive environments. It remains magnetic in both annealed and hardened states and offers good polishability and fair machinability. This material excels under mechanical wear, making it perfect for components that experience friction, stress, and routine cleaning or sterilization.
