Steel AF1410 Aged 950F vs AF1410 Normalized
Steel · AF1410 temper comparison
AF1410 Aged 950F and AF1410 Normalized are two conditions of the same steel grade, AF1410: Aged 950F (q + aged 510 °C (950 °F) 5 h, air cool) versus Normalized. The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. AF1410 Aged 950F is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,520 MPa (220 ksi) against 1,100 MPa (160 ksi) for AF1410 Normalized, about 38% more; tensile strength follows at 1,660 MPa (241 ksi) vs 1,400 MPa (203 ksi). AF1410 Aged 950F is harder — 48 HRC against 42 HRC for AF1410 Normalized — which matters for wear surfaces and threads. AF1410 Aged 950F runs hotter in service (400°C vs 350°C continuous).
AF1410 Aged 950FChoose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
AF1410 Aged 950F vs AF1410 Normalized: 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.

AF1410 Aged 950F vs AF1410 Normalized — frequently asked
Is AF1410 Aged 950F stronger than AF1410 Normalized?
Yes. AF1410 Aged 950F has a typical yield strength of 1,520 MPa (220 ksi) against 1,100 MPa (160 ksi) for AF1410 Normalized — about 38% more. Tensile strength is 1,660 MPa (241 ksi) vs 1,400 MPa (203 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, Aged 950F or Normalized?
Aged 950F is the default AF1410 condition in the FabDigit quote flow. 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, AF1410 Aged 950F or AF1410 Normalized?
AF1410 Normalized, by a small margin. Both rate poor for machinability — 27/100 against 22/100 for AF1410 Aged 950F; for welding the order is AF1410 Normalized first (good, 65/100) then AF1410 Aged 950F (good, 60/100).
