Stainless Steel S44627 As Welded vs S44627 Cold Drawn
Stainless Steel · S44627 temper comparison
S44627 As Welded and S44627 Cold Drawn are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, S44627: As Welded (as-welded deposit) 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 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) for S44627 As Welded, about 49% more; tensile strength follows at 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 490 MPa (71.1 ksi). S44627 Cold Drawn is the more ductile: elongation 15% versus 12% for S44627 As Welded, and S44627 Cold Drawn is harder (220 HB vs 175 HB).

S44627 As Welded 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.

S44627 As Welded vs S44627 Cold Drawn — frequently asked
Is S44627 Cold Drawn stronger than S44627 As Welded?
Yes. S44627 Cold Drawn has a typical yield strength of 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) against 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) for S44627 As Welded — about 49% more. Tensile strength is 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 490 MPa (71.1 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, As Welded or Cold Drawn?
Annealed is the default S44627 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither As Welded nor Cold Drawn). 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.
Which is easier to machine, S44627 As Welded or S44627 Cold Drawn?
S44627 Cold Drawn, by a small margin. Both rate fair for machinability — 48/100 against 42/100 for S44627 As Welded; for welding the order is S44627 Cold Drawn first (good, 55/100) then S44627 As Welded (fair, 50/100).
