Best Stainless is proud to offer type 410 QDT stainless steel bars, engineered specifically for petrochemical applications involving sour gas hydrogen sulfide (H2S) environments. QDT stands for "Quenched and Double Tempered" - a specialized heat treatment process that relieves internal stresses and eliminates untempered martensite for superior performance in critical applications.
Our 410 QDT bars deliver a minimum yield strength of 80 KSI with maximum hardness of RC22, meeting stringent requirements for H2S-containing environments per NACE MR0175 and MR0103 standards. These bars also comply with API 6A standards, making them the preferred choice for demanding petrochemical applications where standard 410 stainless steel isn't sufficient.
Why Choose 410 QDT Over Standard 410?
- NACE Compliant - Meets MR0175/MR0103 standards for sour gas H2S service
- API 6A Certified - Approved for critical oilfield applications
- Stress Relieved - Double tempering eliminates internal stresses
- Controlled Hardness - RC22 max ensures optimal toughness
- Superior Toughness - Enhanced Charpy impact resistance at -20°F
Typical Applications
- Oilfield Sour Gas Service
- H2S Resistant Components
- Valve Bodies & Trim
- Pump Shafts & Sleeves
- Wellhead Equipment
- Downhole Tools
- Pipeline Components
- Pressure Vessel Parts
