Titanium Ti Grade 29 Annealed vs Ti Grade 29 BETA
Titanium · Ti Grade 29 temper comparison
Ti Grade 29 Annealed and Ti Grade 29 BETA are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 29: Annealed versus BETA (transformed Beta). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 830 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (Annealed versus transformed Beta). Ti Grade 29 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 15% versus 11% for Ti Grade 29 BETA. Ti Grade 29 BETA runs hotter in service (400°C vs 315°C continuous).

Ti Grade 29 Annealed vs Ti Grade 29 BETA: 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 29 Annealed vs Ti Grade 29 BETA — frequently asked
What is the difference between Ti Grade 29 Annealed and Ti Grade 29 BETA?
Ti Grade 29 Annealed and Ti Grade 29 BETA are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 29: Annealed versus BETA (transformed Beta). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 830 MPa — the mechanical properties are the same, and the difference is in how the stock is processed and what it is certified to (Annealed versus transformed Beta).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, Annealed or BETA?
Annealed is the default Ti Grade 29 condition in the FabDigit quote flow. 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 29 Annealed or Ti Grade 29 BETA?
Ti Grade 29 Annealed. Its weldability rates very good (80/100) against very good (72/100) for Ti Grade 29 BETA.
