AK Steel 400 is one of the most economical chromium ferritic stainless steels. It has corrosion and oxidation resistance comparable to Type 410 stainless steel with good fabricating characteristics. AK Steel 400 contains no titanium, so its surface is free of titanium streaks. This provides improved appearance, and alleviates die wear that may be caused by titanium stabilized chromium steels. AK Steel 400 is non-hardenable by heat treatment because of its low carbon content which also minimizes hardening during welding. Typical applications include heat exchangers, display racks, gas range burner rings, office furniture and other uses where corrosion resistance at minimum cost is important.
