Normalized 9310 Ni-Cr-Mo Steel
Normalized SAE-AISI 9310 is SAE-AISI 9310 steel in the normalized condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare normalized SAE-AISI 9310 to: SAE-AISI wrought 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.
