Description
Ugitech's 416 is free machining martensitic grade. The unique pro- duction process-developed exclusively by Ugitech-results in a product that delivers superior productivity, tool life and consistency, and improves the surface finish on all types of machined parts. Machined parts are frequently used in the annealed condition, but may be heat treated to develop optimum mechanical properties for specific applications.
416 HT, condition T (HRc26-32), is the popular heat-treated version of 416. This condition is specified for numerous engineering applications, and represents the optimum condition for both machinability and corrosion resistance. No further heat treatment of machined parts is required.
These grades deliver heat to heat consistency that is unsurpassed in the industry. Once an optimum set-up has been established, machinists can take advantage of increased machine efficiency rates (run "lights out production"). Also, crashes due to hard spots are a thing of the past. 416 and 416 HT can both provide a significant competitive advantage for shops that demand efficient, high volume and reliable production.
