What is 1.4057 material equivalent to ASTM?
What is 1.4057 SS material?
ASTM 431, or 1.4057 stainless steel, is the comprehensive martensite grade for engineering applications. The exact composition varies, but an exemplary 1.4057 stainless steel will comprise: 15–17% chromium; 2–2.5% nickel; and 0.12–0.22% carbon. It may also include small volumes of molybdenum, silicon, and phosphorus. It can be processed into various practical product forms, including sheets, coils, tubes, bars, and wires.

Corrosion resistance of the material
As a chromium-nickel steel, the material AISI 431 (1.4057, BS 431S29, X17CrNi16-2) has good corrosion resistance. However, the material is susceptible to intergranular corrosion. Maximum corrosion resistance is achieved with a bright metallic surface.
1.4057 material hardness
The hardness of 1.4057 stainless steel varies with heat treatment, ranging from approximately 295 HB (Brinell Hardness) in the annealed state to 33-46 HRC (Rockwell Hardness) after quenching and tempering. The specific hardness depends on the heat treatment, such as the QT800 or QT900 conditions, and can also be influenced by cold work during processing.
1.4057 Martensitic Stainless Steel Machining
431, UNS S43100, S80, X17CrNi16-2, and 1.4057 martensitic stainless steels are easily machinable in the annealed state. However, if the hardness of these steels exceeds 30 HRC, machining them becomes extremely difficult.
