Isis Metals, a reputable manufacturer and supplier located in Manila, Philippines, specializes in high-quality Stainless Steel 420 Bars and Rods that are built to perform exceptionally well in tough industrial settings. Renowned for their impressive hardness, strength, and decent corrosion resistance, these bars and rods are perfect for applications that demand durability and wear resistance. Stainless Steel 420, a martensitic grade, can be hardened through heat treatment, which enhances its cutting and polishing capabilities. At Isis Metals, we prioritize precision manufacturing, consistent quality, and compliance with international standards, making our products ideal for engineering, mechanical, and tool-making needs across various industries.
Stainless Steel 420 Bars and Rods are composed of about 12–14% chromium, 0.15–0.40% carbon, along with trace amounts of manganese, silicon, and phosphorus. This unique blend results in excellent hardness and moderate resistance to corrosion. Depending on the heat treatment, the alloy can achieve tensile strengths between 700 to 1100 MPa, with a Rockwell hardness reaching up to 50 HRC. SS 420 is known for its good machinability and fair weldability when in the annealed state. It also offers solid resistance to mild acids, alkalis, and fresh water, making it a great choice for applications that require both strength and wear resistance.

Stainless Steel 420 Bars and Rods are known for their excellent hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. They are a high-carbon steel that can be heat-treated for maximum hardness and are ideal for applications that require strength and durability, such as cutlery, surgical instruments, and valve parts.
Stainless Steel 420 has higher carbon content compared to other grades like 304 or 316, which allows it to be hardened through heat treatment. This makes it particularly suitable for applications that demand high strength, hardness, and wear resistance, although it may not offer the same corrosion resistance as other austenitic grades.
Stainless Steel 420 is commonly used in the manufacturing of cutlery, surgical instruments, automotive components, and valves due to its excellent hardness, strength, and resistance to corrosion.
Stainless Steel 420 Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries that require high strength, edge retention, and resistance to corrosion. They are perfect for crafting surgical instruments, cutlery, shear blades, valve components, shafts, and pump parts. The alloy’s ability to retain hardness after heat treatment makes it an excellent choice for molds, dies, and precision engineering tools. In sectors like petrochemical, mechanical, and automotive, SS 420 is utilized in components that face abrasion and moderate corrosive environments. Its durability and ability to be polished also make it a favored material for various applications.
