Titanium Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo vs Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V
Titanium · grade comparison
Titanium Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V are both titanium grades. Both yield at about 950 MPa — strength does not separate them. Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V is the more ductile: elongation 15% versus 12% for Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo. Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V is lighter (4.37 g/cm³ vs 4.55 g/cm³ for Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo) and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V is stiffer (124 GPa vs 117 GPa).
Ti-8Al-1Mo-1VChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when weight is the constraint.
Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo vs Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V: 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.

Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo vs Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V — frequently asked
What is the difference between Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V?
Titanium Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V are both titanium grades. Both yield at about 950 MPa — strength does not separate them. Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V is the more ductile: elongation 15% versus 12% for Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo.
Which is cheaper, Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo or Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V?
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.
When should I choose Ti-5Al-5Sn-2Zr-2Mo over Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V?
Pick Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when weight is the constraint.
