Titanium Ti-10-2-3 vs Ti-5553
Titanium · grade comparison
Titanium Ti-10-2-3 and Ti-5553 are both titanium grades, both high strength ti. Both yield at about 930 MPa — strength does not separate them. Ti-5553 is the more ductile: elongation 16% versus 12% for Ti-10-2-3. Ti-10-2-3 conducts heat better (7.8 W/m·K vs 7 W/m·K).
Ti-5553Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
Ti-10-2-3 vs Ti-5553: 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.
