Titanium Ti-6-22-22 vs Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo
Titanium · grade comparison
Titanium Ti-6-22-22 and Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo are both titanium grades. Ti-6-22-22 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,160 MPa (168 ksi) against 1,100 MPa (160 ksi) for Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo, about 5% more; tensile strength follows at 1,240 MPa (180 ksi) vs 1,170 MPa (170 ksi). Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo runs hotter in service (400°C vs 315°C continuous). On the shop floor, Ti-6-22-22 welds better (fair vs poor).
Ti-6-22-22Choose it when strength drives the design, or when it will be welded.
Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6MoChoose it when the part sees heat.
Ti-6-22-22 vs Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo: 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.
