UGI 4057 AIR QT900

UGI 4057 AIR QT900 introduction

UGI 4057 AIR is a martensitic stainless steel with Ni addition. Its 15% Cr content ensures a higher corrosion resistance than classical martensitic stainless steels like AISI 410 or 420. The balance between alloying ele-ments, Cr, Ni and C, in UGI 4057 AIR has been carefully chosen to obtain an almost fully martensitic struc-ture after austenitization (with limited amounts of retained austenite and delta ferrite) to develop full strength. This grade is employed preferentially in quench and tempered condition that offers a wide range of mechanical properties depending on the tempering temperature.


The microstructure in quench and tempered condition is fully martensitic with fine chromium carbides. The delta ferrite is nearly totally eliminated by hot rolling and austenitization (delta fraction

For applications requiring an improved microcleanliness UGI 4057 AIR also exists in ESR refined version.

UGI 4057 AIR is a ferromagnetic grade at room temperature until 727°C (Curie transition). Its magnetic prop-erties are semi-hard, and are significantly changed by tempering. The evolution with tempering is shown on the graph provided in the picture part of the datasheet.
