See Stainless Steel Tolerances
Stainless Sheet/Plate 440C offers high strength, moderate corrosion resistant, good hardness and wear resistance. After heat treatment, 440C is capable of attaining the highest strength, hardness and wear resistance of all the stainless alloys. It is typically used in rolling element bearing, valve seats, high-quality knife blades, surgical instruments, chisels, gage blocks, cutlery, ball bearings and races, molds and dies, knives, valve components, measuring instruments.

Mechanical Properties
Chemistry Information : 440C Stainless Steel
440C stainless steel plate is valued for its high strength, exceptional hardness, and excellent resistance to both wear and corrosion. It offers good machinability and is typically used where high edge retention and durability are important.
Yes, 440C stainless steel plates can be custom cut to meet your size requirements. You can request custom cutting during the ordering process to ensure the plate fits your specific application.
The 0.5 inch thick 440C stainless steel plate is commonly used for making knife blades, industrial tools, bearings, and components that require outstanding hardness and wear resistance.
440C stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance, but it is primarily known for its hardness and is less corrosion resistant than some lower carbon stainless alloys like 304 or 316. Regular maintenance is recommended in especially corrosive environments.
