Product Description

420 cold-rolled stainless steel sheet is a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel produced through precision cold rolling processes. The cold rolling operation imparts superior surface finish, tight dimensional tolerances, and enhanced mechanical properties compared to hot-rolled equivalents.

This grade offers high hardness (after heat treatment), good wear resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance. It is widely used in applications requiring a combination of sharp cutting edges, durability, and a smooth, bright surface.

Key Features of Cold-Rolled 420 Sheet
Feature Benefit
Precise dimensional accuracy Tight thickness tolerances (±0.03mm to ±0.05mm)
Excellent surface finish Smooth, bright, or matte finishes (2B, BA, No.4, HL)
Improved mechanical properties Higher strength and uniformity due to work hardening
Superior flatness Suitable for precision stamping and forming
Consistent quality Uniform microstructure and performance across the coil
Chemical Composition (wt%)
Element Content Range
Carbon (C) 0.15% – 0.36%
Chromium (Cr) 12.00% – 14.00%
Manganese (Mn) ≤ 1.00%
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.040%
Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.030%
Silicon (Si) ≤ 1.00%

Note: The carbon content allows hardening by heat treatment to achieve HRC 50–55. Chromium provides moderate corrosion resistance.
