Titanium ERTi-9-ANN vs ERTi-9 AW-SR
Titanium · ERTi-9 temper comparison
ERTi-9-ANN and ERTi-9 AW-SR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, ERTi-9: ANN (annealed) versus AW-SR. The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 550 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (annealed versus AW-SR). ERTi-9-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 17% for ERTi-9 AW-SR.

ERTi-9-ANN vs ERTi-9 AW-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.

ERTi-9-ANN vs ERTi-9 AW-SR — frequently asked
What is the difference between ERTi-9-ANN and ERTi-9 AW-SR?
ERTi-9-ANN and ERTi-9 AW-SR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, ERTi-9: ANN (annealed) versus AW-SR. The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 550 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (annealed versus AW-SR).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, ANN or AW-SR?
AW is the default ERTi-9 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither ANN nor AW-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 ERTi-9-ANN over ERTi-9 AW-SR?
Pick ERTi-9-ANN when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
