The stainless steel 410D (K03) is a low-carbon alloy with additions of chromium and nickel, which provides excellent resistance in corrosive and abrasive environments, a high mechanical strength and good weldability. All these qualities aligned with one of the lowest costs in the chain of special steels makes of the stainless 410D an excellent choice to replace materials used in structural applications, such as carbon, galvanized or aluminized steels. The 410D has a ferritic structure and may be folded, cut, shaped and welded by standard procedures applied to stainless steels.

The 410D (K03) can be applied in several industrial segments, especially in replacement of carbon steels, which provides an up to 50% thickness reduction. In the transport sector, 410D may be applied in wagons and body of trucks and buses. Sugarcane mills applied this steel in equipments of reception and transportation of sugarcane, diffusers, evaporators, boilers, chimneys and gas washers. Other applications include mineral processing, water treatment, distillation columns in oil industry, grain silos and industrial floors.
