Titanium Ti Grade 2 Annealed vs Ti Grade 2-HR
Titanium · Ti Grade 2 temper comparison
Ti Grade 2 Annealed and Ti Grade 2-HR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 2: Annealed versus HR (hot rolled). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti Grade 2-HR is the stronger of the two: yield strength 370 MPa (53.7 ksi) against 340 MPa (49.3 ksi) for Ti Grade 2 Annealed, about 9% more; tensile strength follows at 470 MPa (68.2 ksi) vs 440 MPa (63.8 ksi). In exchange, Ti Grade 2 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 25% versus 22% for Ti Grade 2-HR, and Ti Grade 2-HR is harder (160 HB vs 150 HB).
Ti Grade 2 AnnealedChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
Ti Grade 2-HRChoose it when strength drives the design.
Ti Grade 2 Annealed vs Ti Grade 2-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.
