Stainless Steel Files with solid Stainless Steel Handles
Files = 440C Stainless / Handles = 316 Stainless

Stainless Steel Files are available in Bastard/Coarse Medium and Fine. The files are manufactured from 440C type stainless (vacuum hardened to 60HRC) with a welded 316 stainless handle and passivated to ASTM A697.

In what type of situation would such a hand file be necessary? It is usually in a situation where the object being altered with the file has already been passivated to remove “free iron” and to initiate the formation of the passive layer. Using a stainless steel file the minimizes the transfer of corrosive iron to the stainless item being worked on, so less passivation will be required to restore the passive layer.
