Steel 13-8Mo-H1100 vs 13-8Mo-H1150
Steel · 13-8Mo temper comparison
13-8Mo-H1100 and 13-8Mo-H1150 are two conditions of the same steel grade, 13-8Mo: H1100 (aged 593 °C (1100 °F) for 4 h) versus H1150 (overaged 621 °C (1150 °F) for 4 h, maximum toughness). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 13-8Mo-H1100 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,034 MPa (150 ksi) against 896 MPa (130 ksi) for 13-8Mo-H1150, about 15% more; tensile strength follows at 1,138 MPa (165 ksi) vs 1,034 MPa (150 ksi). In exchange, 13-8Mo-H1150 is the more ductile: elongation 19% versus 17% for 13-8Mo-H1100, and 13-8Mo-H1150 is harder (429 HB vs 345 HB).
13-8Mo-H1100Choose it when strength drives the design.
13-8Mo-H1150Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
13-8Mo-H1100 vs 13-8Mo-H1150: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all 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.

13-8Mo-H1100 vs 13-8Mo-H1150 — frequently asked
Is 13-8Mo-H1100 stronger than 13-8Mo-H1150?
Yes. 13-8Mo-H1100 has a typical yield strength of 1,034 MPa (150 ksi) against 896 MPa (130 ksi) for 13-8Mo-H1150 — about 15% more. Tensile strength is 1,138 MPa (165 ksi) vs 1,034 MPa (150 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H1100 or H1150?
H1000 is the default 13-8Mo condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither H1100 nor H1150). 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, 13-8Mo-H1100 or 13-8Mo-H1150?
13-8Mo-H1100, by a small margin. Both rate poor for machinability — 30/100 against 25/100 for 13-8Mo-H1150.
