Plate stainless steel 450

Custom 450® stainless is a age-hardenable martensitic stainless steel that has very good corrosion resistance and moderate strength. Although the alloy has a yield strength higher than 100 KSI (689 MPa) in the annealed condition, it is easily fabricated. A single-step aging treatment develops higher strength with good ductility and toughness. Because it has corrosion resistance similar to alloy 304 stainless and with much higher yield strength, Custom 450® has been used in applications where alloy 304 was not strong enough. It has also replaced alloy 410 stainless directly on a strength basis where alloy 410 had insufficient corrosion resistance. Mechanical properties will depend on the aging temperature selected.*
