Solution Annealed (+AT) 1.4541 Stainless Steel

EN 1.4541 +AT steel is EN 1.4541 stainless steel in the solution annealed (AT) condition. It has the lowest strength and highest ductility compared to the other variants of EN 1.4541 stainless steel.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.4541 +AT 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.
