Titanium B817 Type I vs CP-Ti Grade 2 (AM Powder)
Titanium · grade comparison
Titanium B817 Type I and CP-Ti Grade 2 (AM Powder) are both titanium grades. CP-Ti Grade 2 (AM Powder) is the stronger of the two: yield strength 530 MPa (76.9 ksi) against 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) for B817 Type I, about 51% more; tensile strength follows at 640 MPa (92.8 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi). CP-Ti Grade 2 (AM Powder) is harder — 205 HB against 160 HB for B817 Type I — which matters for wear surfaces and threads. On the shop floor, CP-Ti Grade 2 (AM Powder) welds better (excellent vs very good) and CP-Ti Grade 2 (AM Powder) forms better (very good vs good).
CP-Ti Grade 2 (AM Powder)Choose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
B817 Type I vs CP-Ti Grade 2 (AM Powder): propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all titanium 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.
