Titanium Ti Grade 28 Annealed vs Ti Grade 28 TransBeta
Titanium · Ti Grade 28 temper comparison
Ti Grade 28 Annealed and Ti Grade 28 TransBeta are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 28: Annealed versus TransBeta (transformed Beta). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti Grade 28 TransBeta is the stronger of the two: yield strength 595 MPa (86.3 ksi) against 550 MPa (79.8 ksi) for Ti Grade 28 Annealed, about 8% more. In exchange, Ti Grade 28 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 22% versus 12% for Ti Grade 28 TransBeta.

Ti Grade 28 TransBetaChoose it when strength drives the design.
Ti Grade 28 Annealed vs Ti Grade 28 TransBeta: 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.
