Titanium Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-ANN vs Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-SR

Titanium · Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo temper comparison

Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-ANN and Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-SR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo: ANN (annealed) versus SR (stress relieved). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 880 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (annealed versus stress relieved). Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 13% versus 11% for Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-SR.

Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-ANN vs Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-SR — frequently asked

What is the difference between Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-ANN and Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-SR?

Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-ANN and Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-SR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo: ANN (annealed) versus SR (stress relieved). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 880 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (annealed versus stress relieved).

Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, ANN or SR?

BSTA is the default Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither ANN nor SR). 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-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-ANN or Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-SR?

Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-SR. Its weldability rates very good (70/100) against good (65/100) for Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo-ANN.
