440 is a family of steels, , including 440A, 440B, and 440C. AUS-8 is very similar to 440C. WITH PROPER HEAT TREAT both 440C and AUS-8 make a very good stain resistant steel choice for shorter knife blades. Either will hold a good edge in the rockwell C 57-60 range but remain sufficently tough to prevent snapping or edge chipping. Remember, however, than no steel in the world can't be ruined by a poor quality heat treatment, either by being too soft and wearing quickly, or too much above the working hardness, and chipping, so knowing a knife is made of either 440C or AUS-8 doesn't garantee quality; they are relatively old alloys which are relatively cheap to produce, so many junk knives use them. 440A and 440B arn't quite as good - a knife that claims to be made with just "440" is most likely A or B, and most likely inferior.

What is the difference between galvanized steel and zinc steel?
Galvanized steel sheet is basically indistinguishable from zinc steel. If you want to buy galvanized steel sheets. You can go to Shanghai Changzheng, which is the choice of most people for its superior quality steel sheets.
What is the temperature for stainless steel to freeze?
Stainless steel would be frozen at room temperature because it is a solid. The melting point of stainless steel is about 1510 degrees Celsius, and the melting point is the same as the freezing point. So, at any point below 1510 degrees Celsius, stainless steel is a solid, therefore frozen.
What is the difference between GI sheet galvanized mild steel sheet?
The difference between the GI sheet galvanized and mild sheet steel is the gauged used. The other difference is the materials used and the galvanization aspect.

What is the difference between steel and stainless steel?
While stainless steel is an alloy of steel, the primary difference between stainless steel and other steels is that the stainless steels have a high percentage (about 10% or even more) of the element chromium in them.
What is the difference between tin plate and stainless steel?

Difference between duplex stainless steel and stainless steel?

What is the difference between stainless steel and real stainless steel in refrigerators?
Well, the answer lies in the question; by saying 'real' stainless steel, you are implying that there are fake metals which go under the name 'stainless steel', thus the difference is that the stainless steel in refigerators is actually stainless steel, and the fake stainless steel is not...thus your question is answered...
What is the difference between Japanese AUS 8A Stainless and 440 stainless steel?
AUS 8A is a Japanese stainless steel known for its corrosion resistance and toughness, while 440 stainless steel is a high-carbon stainless steel often used in knife blades due to its hardness and wear resistance. AUS 8A is easier to sharpen but may not hold an edge as well as 440 stainless steel.

How can you tell the difference between ALUMNIUM and stainless steel?
Grab a small magnet. It will stick to stainless steel - it won't stick to aluminum.
What is the difference between stainless steel and normal steel?
stainless steel has chromium added to the steel, which forms a protective oxide layer at the surface, preventing corrosion (rust).
