Aluminum 711.0-F vs 711.0-T1
Aluminum · 711.0 temper comparison
711.0-F and 711.0-T1 are two conditions of the same aluminum grade, 711.0: F (as fabricated) versus T1 (cooled from hot working and naturally aged). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 711.0-T1 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 170 MPa (24.7 ksi) against 125 MPa (18.1 ksi) for 711.0-F, about 36% more; tensile strength follows at 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) vs 200 MPa (29 ksi). In exchange, 711.0-F is the more ductile: elongation 9% versus 7% for 711.0-T1, and 711.0-T1 is harder (70 HB vs 58 HB).
711.0-FChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
711.0-T1Choose it when strength drives the design.
711.0-F vs 711.0-T1: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all aluminum grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

711.0-F vs 711.0-T1 — frequently asked
Is 711.0-T1 stronger than 711.0-F?
Yes. 711.0-T1 has a typical yield strength of 170 MPa (24.7 ksi) against 125 MPa (18.1 ksi) for 711.0-F — about 36% more. Tensile strength is 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) vs 200 MPa (29 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, F or T1?
T1 is the default 711.0 condition in the FabDigit quote flow. The other condition is available on request or by drawing note — specify it in the material field or the part notes and the quote is priced for it.
When should I choose 711.0-F over 711.0-T1?
Pick 711.0-F when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded. Pick 711.0-T1 when strength drives the design.
