View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.AL TECH 440C is a martensitic stainless steel of high carbon and chromium content capable of full hardening response after oil quenching or air cooling. The outstanding wear resistance of 440C combined with its moderately good corrosion resistance make it an excellent candidate for bearings, bushings, valve components, cutlery and pump parts. Designers may also consider Type 440C vacuum are remelted (VAR) for aerospace and small precision bearings. In these applications improved cleanliness, superior fatigue properties, high strength and corrosion resistance are critical design considerations.
