Titanium ERTi-2-ANN vs ERTi-2-AW
Titanium · ERTi-2 temper comparison
ERTi-2-ANN and ERTi-2-AW are two conditions of the same titanium grade, ERTi-2: ANN (annealed) versus AW (as-welded deposit). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. ERTi-2-AW is the stronger of the two: yield strength 380 MPa (55.1 ksi) against 340 MPa (49.3 ksi) for ERTi-2-ANN, about 12% more; tensile strength follows at 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi). In exchange, ERTi-2-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 28% versus 22% for ERTi-2-AW, and ERTi-2-AW is harder (155 HB vs 145 HB).
ERTi-2-ANNChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
ERTi-2-AWChoose it when strength drives the design.
ERTi-2-ANN vs ERTi-2-AW: 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-2-ANN vs ERTi-2-AW — frequently asked
Is ERTi-2-AW stronger than ERTi-2-ANN?
Yes. ERTi-2-AW has a typical yield strength of 380 MPa (55.1 ksi) against 340 MPa (49.3 ksi) for ERTi-2-ANN — about 12% more. Tensile strength is 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) vs 450 MPa (65.3 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, ANN or AW?
AW is the default ERTi-2 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-2-ANN over ERTi-2-AW?
Pick ERTi-2-ANN when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded. Pick ERTi-2-AW when strength drives the design.
