Stainless Steel S40910-ANN vs S40910-TR
Stainless Steel · S40910 temper comparison
S40910-ANN and S40910-TR are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, S40910: ANN (annealed) versus TR (temper rolled). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. S40910-TR is the stronger of the two: yield strength 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) against 270 MPa (39.2 ksi) for S40910-ANN, about 56% more; tensile strength follows at 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) vs 440 MPa (63.8 ksi). In exchange, S40910-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 31% versus 12% for S40910-TR, and S40910-TR is harder (185 HB vs 150 HB).
S40910-ANNChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
S40910-TRChoose it when strength drives the design.
S40910-ANN vs S40910-TR: 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.
