440A stainless alternatives
440A stainless alternatives
(OP)
Is anybody familiar with acceptable alternatives to 440A stainless round bar? We use it in several high pressure applications and the material is becoming very hard to find.
Alternatively, Is anyone familiar with sources for this material?
Thanks

What strength level do you use the 440A? Do you know what temper temp and hardness you are using?
There are other martensitic alloys out there.
If you want similar strength and corrosion resistance I would start with 425mod, 455, 420F, or 431.
Good luck.
