Full-Hard N08800 Stainless Steel
Full-hard N08800 stainless steel is N08800 stainless steel in the full-hard temper. It has the highest strength and lowest ductility compared to the other variants of N08800 stainless steel.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare full-hard 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.
