Stainless Steel 410 vs S41041
Stainless Steel · grade comparison
Stainless Steel 410 and S41041 are both stainless steel grades. 410 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 310 MPa (45 ksi) against 280 MPa (40.6 ksi) for S41041, about 11% more; tensile strength follows at 517 MPa (75 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi). In exchange, S41041 is the more ductile: elongation 30% versus 25% for 410. On the shop floor, S41041 welds better (very good vs fair) and S41041 sits in a lower cost tier (standard, $$) than 410 (premium, $$$).
410Choose it when strength drives the design.
S41041Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when it will be welded.
410 vs S41041: 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.
