I am looking for the Charpy ductile to brittle transition temperature for 440C stainless steel in both the hardened and annealed conditions. Although I have performed a Google search, visited MatWeb, and visited websites of steel producers, I am unable to locate ANY data on this topic. Can someone direct me to a reliabble source for this information? Thank you.

Go to timken.com, then navigate to their Latrobe site. These people can answer your questions if it's not in the on-line data for the grade.
 
It may be hard to find. The toughness will be a function of the C content and specific heat treatment. Changes in heat treatment can change the 50% ductility temp by 100F.
You may have trouble finding the data for 440C because the toughness is very low.

Corrosion never sleeps, but it can be managed.
 
Latrobe's website was one of the steel producer's websites that I visited, and they do not have this information. The toughness for this grade is relatively low, and the only information that I was able to locate stated that 440C was not recommended for use at low temperatures due to toughness concerns.
