Titanium B817 Type II vs CP-Ti Powder (GB/T 30265)

Titanium · grade comparison

Titanium B817 Type II and CP-Ti Powder (GB/T 30265) are both titanium grades. B817 Type II is the stronger of the two: yield strength 855 MPa (124 ksi) against 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) for CP-Ti Powder (GB/T 30265), about 144% more; tensile strength follows at 930 MPa (135 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi). B817 Type II is harder — 330 HB against 160 HB for CP-Ti Powder (GB/T 30265) — which matters for wear surfaces and threads. B817 Type II is stiffer (113 GPa vs 105 GPa) and B817 Type II runs hotter in service (350°C vs 300°C continuous). On the shop floor, CP-Ti Powder (GB/T 30265) machines more easily (fair vs poor), CP-Ti Powder (GB/T 30265) welds better (very good vs good), and CP-Ti Powder (GB/T 30265) forms better (good vs poor).

B817 Type IIChoose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.

CP-Ti Powder (GB/T 30265)Choose it when the part is machined in volume, or when it will be welded.
