Stainless Steel 440C (1.4215) Medical Alloy
440C (1.4215) martensitic stainless steel is heat treatable to attain the highest levels of strength, hardness and wear resistance of all of the stainless steels. It has a higher carbon content than 440A and 440B giving it these characteristics, but at the expense of slightly reduced corrosion resistance. Typically used in applications such as bearings and rollers, its high hardness make it ideal for all types of surgical cutting instruments.
Applications
Medical instruments
Surgical instruments
Dental instruments
Cutting instruments
