Stainless Steel 13-8 PH-H1100 vs 13-8 PH-H1150
Stainless Steel · 13-8 PH temper comparison
13-8 PH-H1100 and 13-8 PH-H1150 are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, 13-8 PH: H1100 (aged 593 °C (1100 °F) for 4 h) versus H1150 (overaged 621 °C (1150 °F) for 4 h, maximum toughness). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 13-8 PH-H1100 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,070 MPa (155 ksi) against 930 MPa (135 ksi) for 13-8 PH-H1150, about 15% more; tensile strength follows at 1,170 MPa (170 ksi) vs 1,035 MPa (150 ksi). In exchange, 13-8 PH-H1150 is the more ductile: elongation 18% versus 16% for 13-8 PH-H1100, and 13-8 PH-H1100 is harder (35 HRC vs 32 HRC).
13-8 PH-H1100Choose it when strength drives the design.
13-8 PH-H1150Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
13-8 PH-H1100 vs 13-8 PH-H1150: 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.

13-8 PH-H1100 vs 13-8 PH-H1150 — frequently asked
Is 13-8 PH-H1100 stronger than 13-8 PH-H1150?
Yes. 13-8 PH-H1100 has a typical yield strength of 1,070 MPa (155 ksi) against 930 MPa (135 ksi) for 13-8 PH-H1150 — about 15% more. Tensile strength is 1,170 MPa (170 ksi) vs 1,035 MPa (150 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H1100 or H1150?
Condition A is the default 13-8 PH condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither H1100 nor H1150). 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 13-8 PH-H1100 over 13-8 PH-H1150?
Pick 13-8 PH-H1100 when strength drives the design. Pick 13-8 PH-H1150 when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
