Titanium ERTi-11-AW vs ERTi-11 PWHT
Titanium · ERTi-11 temper comparison
ERTi-11-AW and ERTi-11 PWHT are two conditions of the same titanium grade, ERTi-11: AW (as-welded deposit) versus PWHT (post-weld heat treated). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 240 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (as-welded deposit versus post-weld heat treated). ERTi-11 PWHT is the more ductile: elongation 32% versus 28% for ERTi-11-AW, and ERTi-11-AW is harder (125 HB vs 118 HB).
ERTi-11 PWHTChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
ERTi-11-AW vs ERTi-11 PWHT: 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.

Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, AW or PWHT?
AW is the default ERTi-11 condition in the FabDigit quote flow. 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 ERTi-11-AW over ERTi-11 PWHT?
Pick ERTi-11 PWHT when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
