Titanium VT5L-ANN vs VT5L HIP+ANN
Titanium · VT5L temper comparison
VT5L-ANN and VT5L HIP+ANN are two conditions of the same titanium grade, VT5L: ANN (annealed) versus HIP+ANN (HIP + Anneal). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 620 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 HIP + Anneal). VT5L HIP+ANN is the more ductile: elongation 13% versus 10% for VT5L-ANN.
VT5L HIP+ANNChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
VT5L-ANN vs VT5L HIP+ANN: 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.

VT5L-ANN vs VT5L HIP+ANN — frequently asked
What is the difference between VT5L-ANN and VT5L HIP+ANN?
VT5L-ANN and VT5L HIP+ANN are two conditions of the same titanium grade, VT5L: ANN (annealed) versus HIP+ANN (HIP + Anneal). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Both yield at about 620 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 HIP + Anneal).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, ANN or HIP+ANN?
F is the default VT5L condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither ANN nor HIP+ANN). 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.
When should I choose VT5L-ANN over VT5L HIP+ANN?
Pick VT5L HIP+ANN when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
