Titanium Ti Grade 7 Annealed vs Ti Grade 7 CW-SR
Titanium · Ti Grade 7 temper comparison
Ti Grade 7 Annealed and Ti Grade 7 CW-SR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, Ti Grade 7: Annealed versus CW-SR (cold worked and stress relieved). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Ti Grade 7 CW-SR is the stronger of the two: yield strength 470 MPa (68.2 ksi) against 320 MPa (46.4 ksi) for Ti Grade 7 Annealed, about 47% more; tensile strength follows at 550 MPa (79.8 ksi) vs 400 MPa (58 ksi). In exchange, Ti Grade 7 Annealed is the more ductile: elongation 25% versus 15% for Ti Grade 7 CW-SR, and Ti Grade 7 CW-SR is harder (200 HB vs 150 HB). Ti Grade 7 Annealed runs hotter in service (300°C vs 250°C continuous).
Ti Grade 7 AnnealedChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
Ti Grade 7 CW-SRChoose it when strength drives the design.
Ti Grade 7 Annealed vs Ti Grade 7 CW-SR: 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 7 Annealed vs Ti Grade 7 CW-SR — frequently asked
Is Ti Grade 7 CW-SR stronger than Ti Grade 7 Annealed?
Yes. Ti Grade 7 CW-SR has a typical yield strength of 470 MPa (68.2 ksi) against 320 MPa (46.4 ksi) for Ti Grade 7 Annealed — about 47% more. Tensile strength is 550 MPa (79.8 ksi) vs 400 MPa (58 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, Annealed or CW-SR?
Annealed is the default Ti Grade 7 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 is easier to machine, Ti Grade 7 Annealed or Ti Grade 7 CW-SR?
Ti Grade 7 CW-SR, by a small margin. Both rate fair for machinability — 45/100 against 40/100 for Ti Grade 7 Annealed; for welding the order is Ti Grade 7 Annealed first (excellent, 88/100) then Ti Grade 7 CW-SR (very good, 80/100).
