Annealed N08800 Stainless Steel
Annealed N08800 stainless steel is N08800 stainless steel in the annealed condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare annealed N08800 stainless steel to: wrought superaustenitic 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.
