Stainless Steel X2CrTi24 Annealed vs X2CrTi24 +C
Stainless Steel · X2CrTi24 temper comparison
X2CrTi24 Annealed and X2CrTi24 +C are two conditions of the same stainless steel grade, X2CrTi24: Annealed versus +C (cold drawn). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. X2CrTi24 +C is the stronger of the two: yield strength 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 320 MPa (46.4 ksi) for X2CrTi24 Annealed, about 50% more; tensile strength follows at 620 MPa (89.9 ksi) vs 520 MPa (75.4 ksi). In exchange, X2CrTi24 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 22% versus 12% for X2CrTi24 +C, and X2CrTi24 +C is harder (210 HB vs 175 HB).
X2CrTi24 AnnealedChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
X2CrTi24 +CChoose it when strength drives the design.
X2CrTi24 Annealed vs X2CrTi24 +C: 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.
