- Description
Our 420 oversize stainless steel rectangle bar is a martensitic alloy that can be heat-treated to a high level of hardness. This material is primarily used for manufacturing high-end cutlery, surgical instruments, and wear-resistant industrial plates. It is highly valued in the tooling and medical sectors because it combines decent corrosion resistance with extreme mechanical strength. The oversize dimensions provide necessary extra material to ensure a perfect finish after grinding and heat treatment. Onlinemetals.com stocks 420 stainless bars for projects requiring a metal that can hold a sharp edge and resist wear.
