Cold Worked (+C800) 1.4301 Stainless Steel

EN 1.4301 +C800 steel is EN 1.4301 stainless steel in the cold worked (strain hardened) condition. It has the highest strength and lowest ductility compared to the other variants of EN 1.4301 stainless steel.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.4301 +C800 steel to: wrought austenitic stainless steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
