Premium Custom Martensitic Stainless Steel for Precision Engineering
1.What is TRIMRITE® (UNS S42010)?
TRIMRITE® is a hardenable martensitic stainless steel containing approximately 13.5–15.0% chromium, along with controlled additions of molybdenum and nickel. The alloy is designed to achieve a fully martensitic structure after heat treatment, providing high strength and hardness while maintaining good ductility and toughness. It is magnetic in all conditions and can be processed using equipment and techniques commonly employed for 410 stainless steel.
2.Key Properties:
• Superior corrosion resistance vs. other stainless steels

9.Heat treatment
Annealing:Heat uniformly to 1350/1400°F (732/760°C), hold 2–4h then air cool to ambient for HRB 88/90. For lower hardness (HRB 82/87), heat to 1560°F (850°C) with 1–2h hold, furnace cool ≤50°F/h to 1200°F (650°C), then air cool.
Hardening:TRIMRITE suits batch & continuous furnaces. To reach HRC 49/52, heat to 1900°F (1040°C) and quench in oil, forced air or gas. Small parts require 15min holding, large sections up to 1h. Use N₂/Ar (dew point ≤-40°F/-40°C) for shielding; avoid dissociated ammonia to prevent nitriding and poor corrosion resistance.
Tempering:Post-hardening temper at 350/400°F (177/204°C) for 1–2h; temper up to 600°F (316°C) if lower hardness is needed.
10.Workability
Cold Working:The cold forming characteristics of TRIMRITE in operations such as heading, thread rolling, slotting, extrusion, drawing, and flattening are similar to a number of other 400 series martensitic stainless steels. Field trials have shown the cold headability to be only slightly less than 410.
Machinability:TRIMRITE is normally machined in the annealed condition and is similar to 420. Cutting tools must be kept sharp.
A coolant consisting of a chlorinated mineral oil with sulfur should be satisfactory for most machining operations.
