Steel A369 FP1-ANN vs A369 FP1-NT
Steel · A369 FP1 temper comparison
A369 FP1-ANN and A369 FP1-NT are two conditions of the same steel grade, A369 FP1: ANN (annealed) versus NT (normalized and Tempered). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. A369 FP1-NT is the stronger of the two: yield strength 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) against 270 MPa (39.2 ksi) for A369 FP1-ANN, about 11% more. A369 FP1-NT is harder — 150 HB against 140 HB for A369 FP1-ANN — which matters for wear surfaces and threads.
A369 FP1-NTChoose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
A369 FP1-ANN vs A369 FP1-NT: 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.
