Titanium ERTi-1 vs ERTi-24
Titanium · grade comparison
Titanium ERTi-1 and ERTi-24 are both titanium grades. ERTi-24 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 860 MPa (125 ksi) against 210 MPa (30.5 ksi) for ERTi-1, about 4.1 times as much; tensile strength follows at 930 MPa (135 ksi) vs 300 MPa (43.5 ksi). In exchange, ERTi-1 is the more ductile: elongation 30% versus 10% for ERTi-24, and ERTi-24 is harder (330 HB vs 110 HB). ERTi-24 is stiffer (114 GPa vs 103 GPa) and ERTi-24 runs hotter in service (350°C vs 300°C continuous). On the shop floor, ERTi-1 machines more easily (fair vs poor) and ERTi-1 welds better (excellent vs very good).
ERTi-1Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part is machined in volume.
ERTi-24Choose it when strength drives the design, or when the part sees heat.
ERTi-1 vs ERTi-24: 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.

ERTi-1 vs ERTi-24 — frequently asked
Is ERTi-24 stronger than ERTi-1?
Yes. ERTi-24 has a typical yield strength of 860 MPa (125 ksi) against 210 MPa (30.5 ksi) for ERTi-1 — about 4.1 times as much. Tensile strength is 930 MPa (135 ksi) vs 300 MPa (43.5 ksi).
Which is cheaper, ERTi-1 or ERTi-24?
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, ERTi-1 or ERTi-24?
ERTi-1. Its machinability rates fair (40/100) against poor (20/100) for ERTi-24; for welding the order is ERTi-1 first (excellent, 95/100) then ERTi-24 (very good, 80/100).
