Titanium C-12-HIP vs C-12-SR
Titanium · C-12 temper comparison
C-12-HIP and C-12-SR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, C-12: HIP (hot isostatic pressed) versus SR (stress relieved). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 460 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (hot isostatic pressed versus stress relieved). C-12-HIP is the more ductile: elongation 16% versus 11% for C-12-SR.
C-12-HIPChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C-12-HIP vs C-12-SR: 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.

C-12-HIP vs C-12-SR — frequently asked
What is the difference between C-12-HIP and C-12-SR?
C-12-HIP and C-12-SR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, C-12: HIP (hot isostatic pressed) versus SR (stress relieved). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 460 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (hot isostatic pressed versus stress relieved).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, HIP or SR?
A is the default C-12 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither HIP nor SR). 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 C-12-HIP over C-12-SR?
Pick C-12-HIP when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
