Quenched and Tempered (+QT800) 1.4031 Stainless Steel

EN 1.4031 +QT800 steel is EN 1.4031 stainless steel in the quenched and tempered condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.4031 +QT800 steel to: wrought martensitic 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.
