Titanium Ti Grade 35-CW vs Ti Grade 35-ST

Titanium · Ti Grade 35 temper comparison

Ti Grade 35-CW and Ti Grade 35-ST are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 35: CW (cold worked) versus ST (solution annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti Grade 35-CW is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,050 MPa (152 ksi) against 830 MPa (120 ksi) for Ti Grade 35-ST, about 27% more; tensile strength follows at 1,120 MPa (162 ksi) vs 900 MPa (131 ksi). In exchange, Ti Grade 35-ST is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 8% for Ti Grade 35-CW, and Ti Grade 35-CW is harder (340 HB vs 285 HB). Ti Grade 35-ST runs hotter in service (350°C vs 300°C continuous). On the shop floor, Ti Grade 35-ST welds better (very good vs good).

Ti Grade 35-CWChoose it when strength drives the design.

Ti Grade 35-STChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.

Ti Grade 35-CW vs Ti Grade 35-ST — frequently asked

Is Ti Grade 35-CW stronger than Ti Grade 35-ST?

Yes. Ti Grade 35-CW has a typical yield strength of 1,050 MPa (152 ksi) against 830 MPa (120 ksi) for Ti Grade 35-ST — about 27% more. Tensile strength is 1,120 MPa (162 ksi) vs 900 MPa (131 ksi).

Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, CW or ST?

Annealed is the default Ti Grade 35 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither CW nor ST). 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 35-CW or Ti Grade 35-ST?

Ti Grade 35-ST. Its weldability rates very good (75/100) against good (60/100) for Ti Grade 35-CW.
