Titanium Ti Grade 34 Annealed vs Ti Grade 34-AW
Titanium · Ti Grade 34 temper comparison
Ti Grade 34 Annealed and Ti Grade 34-AW are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 34: Annealed versus AW (as-welded deposit). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti Grade 34-AW is the stronger of the two: yield strength 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) against 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) for Ti Grade 34 Annealed, about 6% more. In exchange, Ti Grade 34 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 28% versus 16% for Ti Grade 34-AW, and Ti Grade 34-AW is harder (180 HB vs 160 HB).
Ti Grade 34 AnnealedChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
Ti Grade 34-AWChoose it when strength drives the design.
Ti Grade 34 Annealed vs Ti Grade 34-AW: 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.
