Stainless Steel 1.4923 vs 410
Stainless Steel · grade comparison
Stainless Steel 1.4923 and 410 are both stainless steel grades. 1.4923 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 680 MPa (98.6 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for 410, about 119% more; tensile strength follows at 880 MPa (128 ksi) vs 517 MPa (75 ksi). In exchange, 410 is the more ductile: elongation 25% versus 17% for 1.4923, and 1.4923 is harder (265 HB vs 155 HB). 1.4923 is stiffer (216 GPa vs 200 GPa) and 410 runs hotter in service (650°C vs 550°C continuous). On the shop floor, 410 machines more easily (good vs fair) and 410 welds better (fair vs poor).
1.4923Choose it when strength drives the design.
410Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
1.4923 vs 410: 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.

1.4923 vs 410 — frequently asked
Is 1.4923 stronger than 410?
Yes. 1.4923 has a typical yield strength of 680 MPa (98.6 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for 410 — about 119% more. Tensile strength is 880 MPa (128 ksi) vs 517 MPa (75 ksi).
Which is cheaper, 1.4923 or 410?
Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$, premium); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.
Which is easier to machine, 1.4923 or 410?
410. Its machinability rates good (55/100) against fair (35/100) for 1.4923; for welding the order is 410 first (fair, 45/100) then 1.4923 (poor, 30/100).
