Titanium Ti Grade 2 AM-LPBF vs Ti Grade 2 Annealed
Titanium · Ti Grade 2 temper comparison
Ti Grade 2 AM-LPBF and Ti Grade 2 Annealed are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 2: AM-LPBF (additively manufactured (L-PBF) as-built CP-Ti Grade 2 powder) versus Annealed. The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti Grade 2 AM-LPBF is the stronger of the two: yield strength 570 MPa (82.7 ksi) against 340 MPa (49.3 ksi) for Ti Grade 2 Annealed, about 68% more; tensile strength follows at 690 MPa (100 ksi) vs 440 MPa (63.8 ksi). In exchange, Ti Grade 2 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 25% versus 18% for Ti Grade 2 AM-LPBF, and Ti Grade 2 AM-LPBF is harder (209 HB vs 150 HB).
Ti Grade 2 AM-LPBFChoose it when strength drives the design.
Ti Grade 2 AnnealedChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
Ti Grade 2 AM-LPBF vs Ti Grade 2 Annealed: 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.
