Titanium Grade 5 As Printed vs Grade 5 Stress Relieved
Titanium · Grade 5 temper comparison
Grade 5 As Printed and Grade 5 Stress Relieved are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Grade 5: As Printed (as built (as printed)) versus Stress Relieved. The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Grade 5 As Printed is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,120 MPa (162 ksi) against 960 MPa (139 ksi) for Grade 5 Stress Relieved, about 17% more; tensile strength follows at 1,240 MPa (180 ksi) vs 1,050 MPa (152 ksi). In exchange, Grade 5 Stress Relieved is the more ductile: elongation 12% versus 8% for Grade 5 As Printed, and Grade 5 As Printed is harder (40 HRC vs 36 HRC).
Grade 5 As PrintedChoose it when strength drives the design.
Grade 5 Stress RelievedChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
Grade 5 As Printed vs Grade 5 Stress Relieved: 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.

Grade 5 As Printed vs Grade 5 Stress Relieved — frequently asked
Is Grade 5 As Printed stronger than Grade 5 Stress Relieved?
Yes. Grade 5 As Printed has a typical yield strength of 1,120 MPa (162 ksi) against 960 MPa (139 ksi) for Grade 5 Stress Relieved — about 17% more. Tensile strength is 1,240 MPa (180 ksi) vs 1,050 MPa (152 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, As Printed or Stress Relieved?
O is the default Grade 5 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither As Printed nor Stress Relieved). 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 Grade 5 As Printed over Grade 5 Stress Relieved?
Pick Grade 5 As Printed when strength drives the design. Pick Grade 5 Stress Relieved when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
