Stainless Steel 1.4982-CD vs 1.4982 ST+SR
Stainless Steel · 1.4982 temper comparison
1.4982-CD and 1.4982 ST+SR are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, 1.4982: CD (cold drawn) versus ST+SR (solution annealed + stabilizing/stress-relief ~750 °C). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 1.4982-CD is the stronger of the two: yield strength 600 MPa (87 ksi) against 370 MPa (53.7 ksi) for 1.4982 ST+SR, about 62% more; tensile strength follows at 800 MPa (116 ksi) vs 700 MPa (102 ksi). In exchange, 1.4982 ST+SR is the more ductile: elongation 38% versus 22% for 1.4982-CD, and 1.4982-CD is harder (250 HB vs 200 HB). 1.4982 ST+SR runs hotter in service (700°C vs 600°C continuous).
1.4982-CDChoose it when strength drives the design.
1.4982 ST+SRChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
1.4982-CD vs 1.4982 ST+SR: 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.

1.4982-CD vs 1.4982 ST+SR — frequently asked
Is 1.4982-CD stronger than 1.4982 ST+SR?
Yes. 1.4982-CD has a typical yield strength of 600 MPa (87 ksi) against 370 MPa (53.7 ksi) for 1.4982 ST+SR — about 62% more. Tensile strength is 800 MPa (116 ksi) vs 700 MPa (102 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, CD or ST+SR?
ST is the default 1.4982 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither CD nor ST+SR). 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 is easier to machine, 1.4982-CD or 1.4982 ST+SR?
1.4982-CD. Its machinability rates fair (35/100) against poor (28/100) for 1.4982 ST+SR; for welding the order is 1.4982-CD first (very good, 70/100) then 1.4982 ST+SR (good, 65/100).
