CC751S vs CC753S — frequently asked

Is CC753S stronger than CC751S?

Yes. CC753S has a typical yield strength of 150 MPa (21.8 ksi) against 90 MPa (13.1 ksi) for CC751S — about 67% more. Tensile strength is 320 MPa (46.4 ksi) vs 220 MPa (31.9 ksi).

Which is cheaper, CC751S or CC753S?

Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$, premium); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.

Which welds better, CC751S or CC753S?

CC753S. Its weldability rates poor (25/100) against poor (20/100) for CC751S.
