Quenched and Tempered (+QT650) 1.4313 Stainless Steel
EN 1.4313 +QT650 steel is EN 1.4313 stainless steel in the quenched and tempered condition. It has the lowest strength compared to the other variants of EN 1.4313 stainless steel. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.4313 +QT650 steel to: wrought martensitic 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.
