Titanium Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Forged+Annealed vs Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA
Titanium · Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si temper comparison
Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Forged+Annealed and Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si: Forged+Annealed (as-forged + duplex annealed) versus STA (solution treated and aged). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,000 MPa (145 ksi) against 925 MPa (134 ksi) for Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Forged+Annealed, about 8% more; tensile strength follows at 1,100 MPa (160 ksi) vs 1,000 MPa (145 ksi). In exchange, Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Forged+Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 14% versus 12% for Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA, and Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA is harder (35 HRC vs 32 HRC).

Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Forged+Annealed vs Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA: 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.

Is Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA stronger than Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Forged+Annealed?
Yes. Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA has a typical yield strength of 1,000 MPa (145 ksi) against 925 MPa (134 ksi) for Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Forged+Annealed — about 8% more. Tensile strength is 1,100 MPa (160 ksi) vs 1,000 MPa (145 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, Forged+Annealed or STA?
Duplex Annealed is the default Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither Forged+Annealed nor STA). 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 Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Forged+Annealed over Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA?
Pick Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si Forged+Annealed when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded. Pick Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-STA when strength drives the design.
