Titanium Ti Grade 24-SR vs Ti Grade 24-STA
Titanium · Ti Grade 24 temper comparison
Ti Grade 24-SR and Ti Grade 24-STA are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 24: SR (stress relieved) versus STA (solution treated and aged). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti Grade 24-STA is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,035 MPa (150 ksi) against 890 MPa (129 ksi) for Ti Grade 24-SR, about 16% more; tensile strength follows at 1,105 MPa (160 ksi) vs 960 MPa (139 ksi). In exchange, Ti Grade 24-SR is the more ductile: elongation 13% versus 10% for Ti Grade 24-STA, and Ti Grade 24-STA is harder (40 HRC vs 36 HRC). Ti Grade 24-SR runs hotter in service (400°C vs 315°C continuous). On the shop floor, Ti Grade 24-SR welds better (very good vs fair).
Ti Grade 24-SRChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
Ti Grade 24-STAChoose it when strength drives the design.
Ti Grade 24-SR vs Ti Grade 24-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.

Ti Grade 24-SR vs Ti Grade 24-STA — frequently asked
Is Ti Grade 24-STA stronger than Ti Grade 24-SR?
Yes. Ti Grade 24-STA has a typical yield strength of 1,035 MPa (150 ksi) against 890 MPa (129 ksi) for Ti Grade 24-SR — about 16% more. Tensile strength is 1,105 MPa (160 ksi) vs 960 MPa (139 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, SR or STA?
Annealed is the default Ti Grade 24 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither SR 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.
Which welds better, Ti Grade 24-SR or Ti Grade 24-STA?
Ti Grade 24-SR. Its weldability rates very good (70/100) against fair (50/100) for Ti Grade 24-STA.
