AISI 405 Bolting Products
AISI 405 is listed in the FERRITIC STAINLESS STEEL material family. The reference data below should be checked against the governing product specification, product form and delivery condition before selection or certification.
The reference chemistry table for AISI 405 lists Chromium (Cr): Approx. 11.5–14.5% typical specification range; Stainless steel (Al): Controlled addition for ferritic stabilization and oxidation resistance; Carbon (C): Low carbon; Iron (Fe): Balance. Confirm exact limits and analysis tolerances against the governing standard and product form.
The mechanical-property table for AISI 405 lists Tensile Strength: Approx. 450–650 MPa; Yield Strength: Approx. 250–350 MPa; Elongation: Approx. 20–30 %; Hardness: Approx. 80–95 HRB HB. These are reference entries; supplied condition, dimensions, test method and governing specification control the requirements, and the figures are not design allowables.
Werkstoff / EN cross-reference for AISI 405: 1.4002. This comparison does not guarantee interchangeability; confirm chemistry, product form and condition against the governing specification.

AISI 405 combines the characteristics of its stainless-steel family with grade-specific alloying and heat-treatment behavior suited to its intended service.
Provides a magnetic, non-hardening stainless structure.
Aluminum additions support resistance to oxidation in elevated-temperature service.
Useful where heat treatment is expected to produce limited transformation.
Suitable for selected fabricated and machined components.
AISI 405 is selected for engineered components and bolting where the material characteristics of this grade match the service environment.
AISI 405 is considered for automotive and exhaust hardware when its grade-specific corrosion, strength and temperature characteristics meet the service requirement.
AISI 405 is considered for industrial equipment when its grade-specific corrosion, strength and temperature characteristics meet the service requirement.
AISI 405 is considered for architectural and fabricated components when its grade-specific corrosion, strength and temperature characteristics meet the service requirement.
AISI 405 is considered for machined stainless parts when its grade-specific corrosion, strength and temperature characteristics meet the service requirement.
Verify the heat-resistant service temperature.
Check weldability requirements.
Use the specified product form and condition for mechanical design.
The commonly listed Werkstoff / EN cross-reference for AISI 405 is 1.4002. Treat this as a grade comparison, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify chemistry, product form, condition and governing specification against the supplier certificate before substitution.
