Refractory Metal Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001) AS-CAST vs Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001)-CW
Refractory Metal · Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001) temper comparison
Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001) AS-CAST and Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001)-CW are two conditions of the same refractory metal grade, Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001): AS-CAST versus CW (cold worked). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001)-CW is the stronger of the two: yield strength 580 MPa (84.1 ksi) against 200 MPa (29 ksi) for Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001) AS-CAST, about 190% more; tensile strength follows at 650 MPa (94.3 ksi) vs 400 MPa (58 ksi). In exchange, Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001) AS-CAST is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 6% for Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001)-CW, and Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001)-CW is harder (245 HB vs 150 HB). Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001) AS-CAST runs hotter in service (500°C vs 350°C continuous). On the shop floor, Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001)-CW machines more easily (fair vs poor) and Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001) AS-CAST welds better (good vs fair).
Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001) AS-CASTChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001)-CWChoose it when strength drives the design, or when the part is machined in volume.
Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001) AS-CAST vs Hafnium Hf-1 (R02001)-CW: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all refractory metal 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.
