Micro-Melt® 440C

UNS #S44004

Micro-Melt® 440C is a powder metallurgy, high-carbon chromium stainless steel designed to provide stainless properties with maximum hardness and improved machinability and galling resistance over cast/wrought 440C. When heat-treated, Micro-Melt 440C attains the highest hardness of any stainless steel, about HRC 61. Its refined microstructure consisting of a uniform distribution of small carbides and a fine grain size enhance cutting performance as much as 40% over equivalent cast/wrought steels.
