Rocky Hill, CT (August 6, 2020) - Hartford Technologies is proud to introduce CorrTech Steel for balls and rolling elements. CorrTech Steel is incredibly rust and corrosion resistant. In addition, it can be heat treated and processed in the same way as 410 steel.

Testing has shown CorrTech Steel is more corrosion resistant than 430, 410, 416, 420, and 440C steel, and it is harder than 316, 303, 304, 430, 410, and 416 steel.
