Abstract:SS440C steels show potential as highest mechanical properties compared to others martensitic stainless steels. As their properties can be altered by some particular heat treatments, this steel is suitable for a extensive ranges of applications such as bearings, gage blocks, races, valve parts and many other manufacturing important components. Unfortunately, bare SS440C substrates corrode too quickly under corrosive environments. Surface modifications that are able to reduce corrosion rates to suitable levels w… Show more
