Titanium ERTi-24 vs ERTi-7

Titanium · grade comparison

Titanium ERTi-24 and ERTi-7 are both titanium grades. ERTi-24 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 860 MPa (125 ksi) against 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) for ERTi-7, about 161% more; tensile strength follows at 930 MPa (135 ksi) vs 420 MPa (60.9 ksi). In exchange, ERTi-7 is the more ductile: elongation 24% versus 10% for ERTi-24, and ERTi-24 is harder (330 HB vs 155 HB). ERTi-24 is stiffer (114 GPa vs 103 GPa) and ERTi-24 runs hotter in service (350°C vs 315°C continuous). On the shop floor, ERTi-7 machines more easily (fair vs poor) and ERTi-7 welds better (excellent vs very good).

ERTi-24Choose it when strength drives the design, or when the part sees heat.

ERTi-7Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part is machined in volume.

ERTi-24 vs ERTi-7 — frequently asked

Is ERTi-24 stronger than ERTi-7?

Yes. ERTi-24 has a typical yield strength of 860 MPa (125 ksi) against 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) for ERTi-7 — about 161% more. Tensile strength is 930 MPa (135 ksi) vs 420 MPa (60.9 ksi).

Which is cheaper, ERTi-24 or ERTi-7?

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-24 or ERTi-7?

ERTi-7. Its machinability rates fair (40/100) against poor (20/100) for ERTi-24; for welding the order is ERTi-7 first (excellent, 92/100) then ERTi-24 (very good, 80/100).
