Stainless Steel 410 Annealed vs 410 Cold Drawn
Stainless Steel · 410 temper comparison
410 Annealed and 410 Cold Drawn are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, 410: Annealed versus Cold Drawn. The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 410 Cold Drawn is the stronger of the two: yield strength 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for 410 Annealed, about 55% more; tensile strength follows at 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 517 MPa (75 ksi). In exchange, 410 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 25% versus 15% for 410 Cold Drawn, and 410 Cold Drawn is harder (200 HB vs 155 HB). 410 Annealed runs hotter in service (650°C vs 550°C continuous).
410 AnnealedChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
410 Cold DrawnChoose it when strength drives the design.
410 Annealed vs 410 Cold Drawn: 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.

410 Annealed vs 410 Cold Drawn — frequently asked
Is 410 Cold Drawn stronger than 410 Annealed?
Yes. 410 Cold Drawn has a typical yield strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for 410 Annealed — about 55% more. Tensile strength is 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 517 MPa (75 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, Annealed or Cold Drawn?
Annealed is the default 410 condition in the FabDigit quote flow. 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 410 Annealed over 410 Cold Drawn?
Pick 410 Annealed when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat. Pick 410 Cold Drawn when strength drives the design.
