Titanium Ti-6-22-22 Annealed vs Ti-6-22-22-ST
Titanium · Ti-6-22-22 temper comparison
Ti-6-22-22 Annealed and Ti-6-22-22-ST are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti-6-22-22: Annealed versus ST (solution annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti-6-22-22 Annealed is the stronger of the two: yield strength 950 MPa (138 ksi) against 900 MPa (131 ksi) for Ti-6-22-22-ST, about 6% more. Ti-6-22-22 Annealed runs hotter in service (315°C vs 200°C continuous).

Ti-6-22-22 Annealed vs Ti-6-22-22-ST: 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-6-22-22 Annealed vs Ti-6-22-22-ST — frequently asked
Is Ti-6-22-22 Annealed stronger than Ti-6-22-22-ST?
Yes. Ti-6-22-22 Annealed has a typical yield strength of 950 MPa (138 ksi) against 900 MPa (131 ksi) for Ti-6-22-22-ST — about 6% more. Tensile strength is 1,035 MPa (150 ksi) vs 1,000 MPa (145 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, Annealed or ST?
STA is the default Ti-6-22-22 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither Annealed nor ST). 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.
Which welds better, Ti-6-22-22 Annealed or Ti-6-22-22-ST?
Ti-6-22-22-ST. Its weldability rates fair (52/100) against fair (45/100) for Ti-6-22-22 Annealed.
