Stainless Steel 1.4919 AT-CG vs 1.4919-CD
Stainless Steel · 1.4919 temper comparison
1.4919 AT-CG and 1.4919-CD are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, 1.4919: AT-CG (high-temperature solution anneal, coarse grain) versus CD (cold drawn). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 1.4919-CD is the stronger of the two: yield strength 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) for 1.4919 AT-CG, about 100% more; tensile strength follows at 700 MPa (102 ksi) vs 550 MPa (79.8 ksi). In exchange, 1.4919 AT-CG is the more ductile: elongation 45% versus 25% for 1.4919-CD, and 1.4919-CD is harder (220 HB vs 150 HB). 1.4919 AT-CG runs hotter in service (650°C vs 450°C continuous).
1.4919 AT-CGChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
1.4919-CDChoose it when strength drives the design.
1.4919 AT-CG vs 1.4919-CD: 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.

1.4919 AT-CG vs 1.4919-CD — frequently asked
Is 1.4919-CD stronger than 1.4919 AT-CG?
Yes. 1.4919-CD has a typical yield strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) for 1.4919 AT-CG — about 100% more. Tensile strength is 700 MPa (102 ksi) vs 550 MPa (79.8 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, AT-CG or CD?
AT is the default 1.4919 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither AT-CG nor CD). 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.
Which welds better, 1.4919 AT-CG or 1.4919-CD?
1.4919 AT-CG. Its weldability rates very good (72/100) against good (65/100) for 1.4919-CD.
