Nickel Alloy IN-713C-SR vs IN-713C-STA
Nickel Alloy · IN-713C temper comparison
IN-713C-SR and IN-713C-STA are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, IN-713C: SR (stress relieved) versus STA (solution treated and aged). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 745 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (stress relieved versus solution treated and aged). IN-713C-SR is the more ductile: elongation 8% versus 6% for IN-713C-STA, and IN-713C-STA is harder (345 HB vs 325 HB).
IN-713C-SRChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
IN-713C-SR vs IN-713C-STA: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all nickel alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

IN-713C-SR vs IN-713C-STA — frequently asked
What is the difference between IN-713C-SR and IN-713C-STA?
IN-713C-SR and IN-713C-STA are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, IN-713C: SR (stress relieved) versus STA (solution treated and aged). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 745 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (stress relieved versus solution treated and aged).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, SR or STA?
F is the default IN-713C condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither SR nor STA). The other condition is available on request or by drawing note — specify it in the material field or the part notes and the quote is priced for it.
When should I choose IN-713C-SR over IN-713C-STA?
Pick IN-713C-SR when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
