Stainless Steel S44627 Annealed vs S44627 Cold Drawn
Stainless Steel · S44627 temper comparison
S44627 Annealed and S44627 Cold Drawn are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, S44627: Annealed versus Cold Drawn. The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. S44627 Cold Drawn is the stronger of the two: yield strength 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) against 345 MPa (50 ksi) for S44627 Annealed, about 51% more; tensile strength follows at 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 490 MPa (71.1 ksi). In exchange, S44627 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 30% versus 15% for S44627 Cold Drawn, and S44627 Cold Drawn is harder (220 HB vs 160 HB).
S44627 AnnealedChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
S44627 Cold DrawnChoose it when strength drives the design.
S44627 Annealed vs S44627 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.
