What is YT14 HIP?
YT14 HIP is YT14 in the HIP condition — choose when interrupted cutting or heavy roughing demands maximum transverse-rupture strength and defect-free structure. YT14 HIP has a tensile strength of 950 MPa (138 ksi), stronger than 85% of ceramic grades. Elongation at break is 0.15% and the elastic modulus is 530 GPa (76.9 Msi). YT14 HIP has a density of 11.5 g/cm³ (0.415 lb/in³), heavier than 82% of ceramic grades. It melts at 1,350°C (2,462 °F). SINT is the default condition FabDigit quotes; HIP is available on request or by drawing note.

Working with YT14 HIP
Is YT14 easy to machine?
Not machinable by conventional cutting — shape by diamond wheel grinding, wire/sinker EDM or green machining of the pressed blank before sintering.
Can YT14 be welded?
Not fusion weldable; joined to steel shanks by silver/copper brazing (Ag-Cu-Zn or Cu-Mn) with a ductile interlayer to absorb CTE mismatch.
Can YT14 be formed, bent or molded?
Made by wet-milled powder, press-and-sinter or extrusion of WC-TiC-Co feedstock, then vacuum or sinter-HIP at ~1450 °C; no post-sinter plastic forming.
What surface finishes work on YT14?
Diamond lapping and honing produce mirror rake faces; PVD/CVD hard coatings, edge honing and passivation are the usual value-adding steps.
YT14 chemical composition (wt %)
Limits by weight percent from the governing specification, written the way the spec states them — a single maximum for impurities, a range for alloying elements, and the base element as balance. Nominal is the typical mid-range value.

YT14 HIP — frequently asked
What is YT14 HIP used for?
YT14 HIP is typically used for general steel turning, milling of carbon/alloy steel and semi-finishing. In short: general-purpose steel grade; balanced wear and toughness; medium TiC content.
What is the tensile strength of YT14 HIP?
YT14 HIP has a typical tensile strength of 950 MPa (138 ksi) — stronger than 85% of ceramic grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 2 listed tempers.
Is YT14 HIP easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated not recommended (4/100, worse than 85% of ceramic grades). Not machinable by conventional cutting — shape by diamond wheel grinding, wire/sinker EDM or green machining of the pressed blank before sintering.
Can YT14 HIP be welded?
Not fusion weldable; joined to steel shanks by silver/copper brazing (Ag-Cu-Zn or Cu-Mn) with a ductile interlayer to absorb CTE mismatch.

What is the maximum service temperature of YT14 HIP?
YT14 HIP is rated for continuous use to about 900°C (1,652 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
