SS 420 2B Finish Strip contains 12–14% chromium and up to 0.15% carbon, forming a martensitic microstructure that hardens significantly through heat treatment. It is primarily specified for industrial cutting blades, wear-resistant valve parts, brake discs, and tools demanding extreme hardness.
SS 304 2B Finish Strip contains 18–20% chromium and 8–10.5% nickel, providing a stable austenitic structure with high ductility and strong atmospheric corrosion resistance. It is ideal for deep-drawn kitchenware, food processing equipment, and general structural fabrication where heat-treat hardening is not required.

A: Yes, Grade 420 is a martensitic alloy that reaches hardness up to 50 HRC when quenched from 980–1035°C and tempered.
A: Yes, we supply Grade 420 2B strip in soft annealed Condition A (max 241 HB) so you can easily blank, stamp, or bend parts prior to hardening.
A: Its high carbon content allows the strip to maintain a sharp cutting edge and resist surface abrasion after proper hardening and polishing.
A: A 2B finish is a cold-rolled, heat-treated, and pickling finish with a light pass, resulting in a smooth, matte to semi-reflective surface.
A: We regularly export to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the United States.
