Titanium Grade C-9-F vs Grade C-9-HIP
Titanium · Grade C-9 temper comparison
Grade C-9-F and Grade C-9-HIP are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Grade C-9: F (as fabricated) versus HIP (hot isostatic pressed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Grade C-9-HIP is the stronger of the two: yield strength 560 MPa (81.2 ksi) against 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) for Grade C-9-F, about 8% more; tensile strength follows at 670 MPa (97.2 ksi) vs 630 MPa (91.4 ksi). Grade C-9-HIP is the more ductile: elongation 12% versus 8% for Grade C-9-F, and Grade C-9-HIP is harder (25 HRC vs 23 HRC).
Grade C-9-HIPChoose it when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
Grade C-9-F vs Grade C-9-HIP: 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 C-9-F vs Grade C-9-HIP — frequently asked
Is Grade C-9-HIP stronger than Grade C-9-F?
Yes. Grade C-9-HIP has a typical yield strength of 560 MPa (81.2 ksi) against 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) for Grade C-9-F — about 8% more. Tensile strength is 670 MPa (97.2 ksi) vs 630 MPa (91.4 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, F or HIP?
ANNEAL is the default Grade C-9 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither F nor HIP). 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 C-9-F over Grade C-9-HIP?
Pick Grade C-9-HIP when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
