Steel AF1410 Annealed vs AF1410 As Welded
Steel · AF1410 temper comparison
AF1410 Annealed and AF1410 As Welded are two conditions of the same steel grade, AF1410: Annealed versus As Welded (as-welded deposit). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. AF1410 As Welded is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,400 MPa (203 ksi) against 830 MPa (120 ksi) for AF1410 Annealed, about 69% more; tensile strength follows at 1,550 MPa (225 ksi) vs 1,030 MPa (149 ksi). In exchange, AF1410 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 12% for AF1410 As Welded, and AF1410 As Welded is harder (46 HRC vs 31 HRC). On the shop floor, AF1410 Annealed machines more easily (fair vs poor).
AF1410 AnnealedChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part is machined in volume.
AF1410 As WeldedChoose it when strength drives the design.
AF1410 Annealed vs AF1410 As Welded: 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.
