420 stainless steel powder is an ideal material for manufacturing tooling components, wear parts, and other applications requiring hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance using powder metallurgy techniques.

Složení

The chemical composition of 420 stainless steel powder is as follows:

Živel Složení (%)
uhlík (C) 0.15 – 0.40
mangan (Mn) 1,00 max
fosfor (P) 0,04 max.
síra (S) 0,03 max
křemík (Si) 1,00 max
Chrom (Cr) 12.00 – 14.00
molybden (Mo) 1,00 max
železo (Fe) Zůstatek

The key alloying element is chromium, which provides corrosion resistance by forming a protective chromium-oxide surface layer. Carbon is added to increase hardness through the formation of martensite upon heat treatment.

Odolnost proti korozi

When heat treated and passivated, 420 stainless steel powder provides corrosion resistance suitable for:

  • Moderately oxidizing to mildly reducing acids and alkalis
  • Mild outdoor atmospheres and mild water containing applications

Heat treating increases wear resistance but lowers corrosion resistance compared to the annealed condition.

Distribuce velikosti částic

420 stainless steel powder is available in different particle size distributions including:

Velikost ok Particle Size (Microns)
-100 Mesh 149 microns minimum
-200 Mesh 74 microns minimum
-325 ok 45 microns minimum
-400 Mesh 38 microns minimum
10-45 Microns 10-45 mikronů

Finer mesh sizes allow higher packing densities and better surface finish. Coarser sizes improve flowability. The appropriate size depends on the final part and manufacturing process.

Gas atomized 420 stainless steel powder has a very spherical morphology ideal for powder metallurgy applications.

Applications of 420 Stainless Steel Powder

Thanks to its properties, 420 stainless steel powder has several applications across industries:

Automotive and Transportation

  • Engine valves
  • Valve spring retainers
  • Transmission bands, clutches, clutch plates
  • Spring clips
  • Ball studs

Spotřební zboží

  • Orthodontic wires
  • Surgical pins and orthopedic implants

Other applications taking advantage of 420 stainless steel powder’s balanced properties include aerospace components, sporting goods, tooling for textile and glass working, fasteners, wear plates, and military applications like gun barrels.

It can be used in additive manufacturing for directly fabricating dense functional metal components. Compared to other stainless steel powders, it provides an optimum combination of hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance.

Manufacturing Using 420 Stainless Steel Powder

420 stainless steel powder is processed into components through powder metallurgy techniques:

Step 1: Zhutňování – The powder is filled into a die cavity and compressed at high pressures into a “green” compact, generally 55 MPa to 600 MPa. This can be done through uniaxial pressing, cold isostatic pressing or metal injection molding.

Step 2: Spékání – The green compact is then heated to 0.7 to 0.9 times the melting point to fuse the particles through diffusion bonding into a dense mass with enhanced mechanical properties compared to the green compact. Sintering activates diffusion to reduce porosity, driving off lubricants, and unifying the structure.

Step 3: Další zpracování – Further secondary operations like repressing, resintering, infiltration, machining and finishing can help achieve the final properties and dimensions required by the application. Optional heat treatment can further enhance hardness at the cost of corrosion resistance.

The flexibility of powder metallurgy allows the manufacture of net shape or near-net shape parts, minimizing scrap losses from machining. It also enables precise control over final chemistry and microstructure.

The different grades of 420 stainless steel powder available help customize properties like hardness, strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance based on end use by altering particle size distribution, density variations, secondary processing, and heat treatment parameters.

Specifikace a třídy

420 stainless steel powder conforms to the following specifications:

Specifikace Popis
ASTM A493 Standard for stainless steel for springs

AMS 5678 Precipitation hardening stainless steel bars and forgings
AMS 5844 Corrosion and heat resistant steel bars, wire, forgings, and rings
QQ-S-766 Steel bars, wire, forgings, mechanical tubing, and rings

Based on minor variations in composition, 420 stainless steel powder is available in slightly differing grades:

Třída Popis
420 Standard 12-14% chromium 420 grade
420F Higher carbon for maximum hardness
420HC Higher hardness through cold working
420D Excellent toughness and stability
420PB Zvýšená odolnost proti korozi

The specific grade is selected based on balancing hardness, corrosion resistance, and cost requirements of the application.

420 Stainless Steel Powder vs. 316 Stainless Steel Powder

Parametr 420 Stainless Steel Powder 316 Stainless Steel Powder
Pevnost a tvrdost Very high – can achieve over 52 HRC through heat treatment Lower – typically 95 HB maximum
Odolnost proti korozi Moderate – suitable for mild atmospheres and applications Excellent – with high molybdenum content for severely corrosive service

Workability and Machining More work hardening. Difficult to machine in hardened state Excellent machining qualities
Náklady Economical Dražší
Major Alloying Element Chrom Chromium and molybdenum
Aplikace Tools, molds, wear parts requiring hardness Corrosion resistant components for chemical processing, marine applications

So while 420 stainless steel powder offers higher hardness and wear resistance, 316 SS powder is tougher, more easily machined, and has superior corrosion resistance. 316 SS powder costs 20-50% higher for most particle size distributions.

420 Stainless Steel Powder vs. 17-4PH Stainless Steel Powder

Parametr 420 Stainless Steel Powder 17-4PH prášek z nerezové oceli
Odolnost proti korozi Moderate – suitable for neutral atmospheres Better – comparable to 316 grade
Tvrdost Higher as-sintered hardness of over 50 HRC through heat treatment 35-45 HRC typical
Síla Lower – 120 KSI tensile strength Higher – 155-185 KSI

Analýza nákladů

420 stainless steel powder is more economical than premium grades like 17-4PH and 316 stainless steel powders. Cost depends on:

1. Particle Size Distribution

Velikost ok Average Price Range*
-100 ok $3.5 – $6 per lb
-200 mesh $4 – $7 per lb
-325 ok $5 – $9 per lb
10-45 mikronů $8 – $12 per lb

*For gas-atomized powder in small quantities

Finer powder sizes are more expensive because additional processing is required to achieve smaller particle sizes.

2. Purchase Quantity

420 stainless steel powder price reduces significantly for bulk purchase quantities over 1000 lbs due to economies of scale.

3. Quality and Grade

  • Highly spherical, low oxygen, gas atomized powder carries a premium over water atomized powder
  • Customized compositions and special grades with extra processing increase powder price
