Steel A369 FP91-N vs A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER
Steel · A369 FP91 temper comparison
A369 FP91-N and A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER are two conditions of the same steel grade, A369 FP91: N (normalized) versus N+T-HIGH-TEMPER (N+T). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. A369 FP91-N is the stronger of the two: yield strength 900 MPa (131 ksi) against 450 MPa (65.3 ksi) for A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER, about 100% more; tensile strength follows at 1,250 MPa (181 ksi) vs 615 MPa (89.2 ksi). In exchange, A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER is the more ductile: elongation 26% versus 10% for A369 FP91-N, and A369 FP91-N is harder (400 HB vs 190 HB). On the shop floor, A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER machines more easily (fair vs poor) and A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER welds better (fair vs poor).

A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPERChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part is machined in volume.
A369 FP91-N vs A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER: 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.

A369 FP91-N vs A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER — frequently asked
Is A369 FP91-N stronger than A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER?
Yes. A369 FP91-N has a typical yield strength of 900 MPa (131 ksi) against 450 MPa (65.3 ksi) for A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER — about 100% more. Tensile strength is 1,250 MPa (181 ksi) vs 615 MPa (89.2 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, N or N+T-HIGH-TEMPER?
N+T is the default A369 FP91 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither N nor N+T-HIGH-TEMPER). 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, A369 FP91-N or A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER?
A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER. Its machinability rates fair (50/100) against poor (15/100) for A369 FP91-N; for welding the order is A369 FP91 N+T-HIGH-TEMPER first (fair, 40/100) then A369 FP91-N (poor, 15/100).
