Annealed S17600 Stainless Steel
Annealed S17600 stainless steel is S17600 stainless steel in the annealed condition. It has the lowest strength and lowest ductility compared to the other variants of S17600 stainless steel.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare annealed S17600 stainless steel to: wrought precipitation-hardening 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.
