Stainless Steel S44330-ANN vs S44330-TR
Stainless Steel · S44330 temper comparison
S44330-ANN and S44330-TR are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, S44330: ANN (annealed) versus TR (temper rolled / skin passed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. S44330-TR is the stronger of the two: yield strength 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for S44330-ANN, about 35% more; tensile strength follows at 540 MPa (78.3 ksi) vs 480 MPa (69.6 ksi). In exchange, S44330-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 30% versus 20% for S44330-TR, and S44330-TR is harder (175 HB vs 160 HB).
S44330-ANNChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
S44330-TRChoose it when strength drives the design.
S44330-ANN vs S44330-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.
