Similar grades have been developed in major industrial countries around the world.
420J2 stainless steel strip is mainly used to manufacture parts and measuring tools, medical appliances, cutting knifes, and components that require corrosion resistance, high strength and wear resistance.
Since cracks are likely to occur during rapid quenching, if air cooling is used, the corrosion resistance will be reduced.
Therefore, for large loaded parts, staged quenching should be used. Sometimes in order to reduce the content of retained austenite in the organization, cold treatment is required.
