Steel 7CrMoVTiB10-10 CD+NT vs 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T
Steel · 7CrMoVTiB10-10 temper comparison
7CrMoVTiB10-10 CD+NT and 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T are two conditions of the same steel grade, 7CrMoVTiB10-10: CD+NT (cold drawn tube, then normalized and tempered) versus Q+T (quenched and tempered). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T is the stronger of the two: yield strength 570 MPa (82.7 ksi) against 530 MPa (76.9 ksi) for 7CrMoVTiB10-10 CD+NT, about 8% more; tensile strength follows at 700 MPa (102 ksi) vs 650 MPa (94.3 ksi). 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T is harder — 225 HB against 210 HB for 7CrMoVTiB10-10 CD+NT — which matters for wear surfaces and threads.
7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+TChoose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
7CrMoVTiB10-10 CD+NT vs 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T: 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.

7CrMoVTiB10-10 CD+NT vs 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T — frequently asked
Is 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T stronger than 7CrMoVTiB10-10 CD+NT?
Yes. 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T has a typical yield strength of 570 MPa (82.7 ksi) against 530 MPa (76.9 ksi) for 7CrMoVTiB10-10 CD+NT — about 8% more. Tensile strength is 700 MPa (102 ksi) vs 650 MPa (94.3 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, CD+NT or Q+T?
N+T is the default 7CrMoVTiB10-10 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither CD+NT nor Q+T). 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.
When should I choose 7CrMoVTiB10-10 CD+NT over 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T?
Pick 7CrMoVTiB10-10 Q+T when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
