Nickel Alloy CZ-100-HIP vs CZ-100-SR
Nickel Alloy · CZ-100 temper comparison
CZ-100-HIP and CZ-100-SR are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, CZ-100: HIP (hot isostatic pressed) versus SR (stress relieved). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. CZ-100-HIP is the stronger of the two: yield strength 165 MPa (23.9 ksi) against 150 MPa (21.8 ksi) for CZ-100-SR, about 10% more; tensile strength follows at 400 MPa (58 ksi) vs 370 MPa (53.7 ksi). CZ-100-HIP is the more ductile: elongation 35% versus 28% for CZ-100-SR.
CZ-100-HIPChoose it when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
CZ-100-HIP vs CZ-100-SR: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all nickel alloy 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.

CZ-100-HIP vs CZ-100-SR — frequently asked
Is CZ-100-HIP stronger than CZ-100-SR?
Yes. CZ-100-HIP has a typical yield strength of 165 MPa (23.9 ksi) against 150 MPa (21.8 ksi) for CZ-100-SR — about 10% more. Tensile strength is 400 MPa (58 ksi) vs 370 MPa (53.7 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, HIP or SR?
F is the default CZ-100 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither HIP nor SR). 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 CZ-100-HIP over CZ-100-SR?
Pick CZ-100-HIP when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
