The 400 stainless steel series includes both ferritic and martensitic grades.
You use ferritic as a cheaper stainless steel alternative for decorative purposes or specific heat and acid resistance applications.
Martensitic stainless steel has a high carbon content, thus high hardenability. It is suitable for cutting tools, for example, knives, razors, etc.

400 series lacks nickel alloys. If I needed a cheap steel and I didn’t care about rust or corrosion, then I’d use 400 series stainless.
