Hardened and Tempered Stainless Steel Strips

Baomit offers hardened and tempered martensitic stainless steel strips and plates in 420J2, 440A, 440B and 440C grades. Martensitic steel is a type of stainless steel that is known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. These qualities make martensitic steel a good choice for a variety of applications, like automotive, machinery parts, and saw blades, for products typically subjected to harsh environments and demanding applications.
