Composition of 420 Stainless Steel Powder

Applications of 420 Stainless Steel Powder

• Powder Metallurgy (PM): 420 stainless steel powder is used in powder metallurgical processes to produce stainless steel components. These components are utilised in various industries, including the automotive industry, aerospace and mechanical engineering, where high strength and corrosion resistance are required.
• Additive Manufacturing (AM): The powder is suitable for additive manufacturing techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) or electron beam melting (EBM) to produce complex stainless steel parts. It delivers acceptable dimensional accuracy, high density and specified mechanical properties, thereby supporting rapid prototyping and the production of customised parts.
• Tools and Cutlery: 420 stainless steel powder is employed for the production of tool components such as moulds, dies and cutting tools due to its hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It is also used in manufacturing cutlery items including knives, blades and shears.
• Bearings and Bushings: The powder is applicable in the manufacture of stainless steel bearings and bushings used in mechanical applications. Its wear resistance and corrosion resistance ensure stable performance in demanding environments.
• Surgical Instruments: 420 stainless steel powder is utilised for the production of surgical instruments because of its hardness, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. It is applied in the medical field for manufacturing surgical instruments, dental tools and orthopaedic implants.
• Firearms and Defence: The powder is used in the fabrication of firearm components such as rifle barrels, slides and frames, where high strength, hardness and corrosion resistance are essential. It is also employed in the defence industry for producing weapon parts and ammunition components.
