Stainless Steel 1.4584 CENT-ST vs 1.4584-ST
Stainless Steel · 1.4584 temper comparison
1.4584 CENT-ST and 1.4584-ST are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, 1.4584: CENT-ST (centrifugally cast, solution annealed) versus ST (solution annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 1.4584 CENT-ST is the stronger of the two: yield strength 245 MPa (35.5 ksi) against 230 MPa (33.4 ksi) for 1.4584-ST, about 7% more; tensile strength follows at 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) vs 490 MPa (71.1 ksi).

1.4584 CENT-ST vs 1.4584-ST: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all stainless steel 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.
