Titanium Ti Grade 13 CW-SR vs Ti Grade 13-HR
Titanium · Ti Grade 13 temper comparison
Ti Grade 13 CW-SR and Ti Grade 13-HR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 13: CW-SR (cold Worked and Stress Relieved) versus HR (hot rolled). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti Grade 13 CW-SR is the stronger of the two: yield strength 400 MPa (58 ksi) against 220 MPa (31.9 ksi) for Ti Grade 13-HR, about 82% more; tensile strength follows at 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) vs 330 MPa (47.9 ksi). In exchange, Ti Grade 13-HR is the more ductile: elongation 28% versus 15% for Ti Grade 13 CW-SR, and Ti Grade 13 CW-SR is harder (175 HB vs 125 HB). Ti Grade 13-HR runs hotter in service (300°C vs 250°C continuous).
Ti Grade 13 CW-SRChoose it when strength drives the design.
Ti Grade 13-HRChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
Ti Grade 13 CW-SR vs Ti Grade 13-HR: 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 Grade 13 CW-SR vs Ti Grade 13-HR — frequently asked
Is Ti Grade 13 CW-SR stronger than Ti Grade 13-HR?
Yes. Ti Grade 13 CW-SR has a typical yield strength of 400 MPa (58 ksi) against 220 MPa (31.9 ksi) for Ti Grade 13-HR — about 82% more. Tensile strength is 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) vs 330 MPa (47.9 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, CW-SR or HR?
Annealed is the default Ti Grade 13 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither CW-SR nor HR). 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 is easier to machine, Ti Grade 13 CW-SR or Ti Grade 13-HR?
Ti Grade 13 CW-SR, by a small margin. Both rate fair for machinability — 45/100 against 37/100 for Ti Grade 13-HR; for welding the order is Ti Grade 13-HR first (excellent, 88/100) then Ti Grade 13 CW-SR (very good, 80/100).
