Refractory Metal Zr 705C-ANN vs Zr 705C-HIP
Refractory Metal · Zr 705C temper comparison
Zr 705C-ANN and Zr 705C-HIP are two conditions of the same refractory metal grade, Zr 705C: ANN (annealed) versus HIP (hot isostatic pressed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Zr 705C-HIP is the stronger of the two: yield strength 395 MPa (57.3 ksi) against 355 MPa (51.5 ksi) for Zr 705C-ANN, about 11% more; tensile strength follows at 510 MPa (74 ksi) vs 470 MPa (68.2 ksi). Zr 705C-HIP is harder — 190 HB against 175 HB for Zr 705C-ANN — which matters for wear surfaces and threads.
Zr 705C-HIPChoose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
Zr 705C-ANN vs Zr 705C-HIP: 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.

Zr 705C-ANN vs Zr 705C-HIP — frequently asked
Is Zr 705C-HIP stronger than Zr 705C-ANN?
Yes. Zr 705C-HIP has a typical yield strength of 395 MPa (57.3 ksi) against 355 MPa (51.5 ksi) for Zr 705C-ANN — about 11% more. Tensile strength is 510 MPa (74 ksi) vs 470 MPa (68.2 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, ANN or HIP?
F is the default Zr 705C condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither ANN nor HIP). 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 Zr 705C-ANN over Zr 705C-HIP?
Pick Zr 705C-HIP when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
