Titanium B817 Type I vs CP-Ti Powder for MIM
Titanium · grade comparison
Titanium B817 Type I and CP-Ti Powder for MIM are both titanium grades. CP-Ti Powder for MIM is the stronger of the two: yield strength 380 MPa (55.1 ksi) against 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) for B817 Type I, about 9% more; tensile strength follows at 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi). In exchange, B817 Type I is the more ductile: elongation 18% versus 15% for CP-Ti Powder for MIM. On the shop floor, B817 Type I machines more easily (fair vs poor) and B817 Type I welds better (very good vs good).
B817 Type IChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part is machined in volume.
CP-Ti Powder for MIMChoose it when strength drives the design.
B817 Type I vs CP-Ti Powder for MIM: 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.

B817 Type I vs CP-Ti Powder for MIM — frequently asked
Is CP-Ti Powder for MIM stronger than B817 Type I?
Yes. CP-Ti Powder for MIM has a typical yield strength of 380 MPa (55.1 ksi) against 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) for B817 Type I — about 9% more. Tensile strength is 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi).
Which is cheaper, B817 Type I or CP-Ti Powder for MIM?
Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$$, high); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.
Which is easier to machine, B817 Type I or CP-Ti Powder for MIM?
B817 Type I. Its machinability rates fair (35/100) against poor (25/100) for CP-Ti Powder for MIM; for welding the order is B817 Type I first (very good, 75/100) then CP-Ti Powder for MIM (good, 55/100).
