Titanium VT1-00-H vs VT1-00-HR
Titanium · VT1-00 temper comparison
VT1-00-H and VT1-00-HR are two conditions of the same titanium grade, VT1-00: H (hardened) versus HR (hot rolled). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. VT1-00-H is the stronger of the two: yield strength 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) against 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) for VT1-00-HR, about 75% more; tensile strength follows at 500 MPa (72.5 ksi) vs 340 MPa (49.3 ksi). In exchange, VT1-00-HR is the more ductile: elongation 28% versus 12% for VT1-00-H, and VT1-00-H is harder (160 HB vs 120 HB). VT1-00-HR runs hotter in service (300°C vs 250°C continuous).
VT1-00-HChoose it when strength drives the design.
VT1-00-HRChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
VT1-00-H vs VT1-00-HR: 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.

VT1-00-H vs VT1-00-HR — frequently asked
Is VT1-00-H stronger than VT1-00-HR?
Yes. VT1-00-H has a typical yield strength of 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) against 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) for VT1-00-HR — about 75% more. Tensile strength is 500 MPa (72.5 ksi) vs 340 MPa (49.3 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H or HR?
M is the default VT1-00 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither H nor HR). 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, VT1-00-H or VT1-00-HR?
VT1-00-H, by a small margin. Both rate fair for machinability — 50/100 against 44/100 for VT1-00-HR; for welding the order is VT1-00-HR first (excellent, 88/100) then VT1-00-H (very good, 80/100).
