Strain Hardened S20910 Stainless Steel
Strain hardened S20910 stainless steel is S20910 stainless steel in the cold worked (strain hardened) condition. It has the highest strength and lowest ductility compared to the other variants of S20910 stainless steel.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare strain hardened S20910 stainless 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.
