Working with 08Cr17Ti-CD
Is 08Cr17Ti easy to machine?
Machines like 430 but gummier: sharp tools, rigid setup, positive rake, 20–25% lower speed than carbon steel, generous coolant to avoid built-up edge.
Can 08Cr17Ti be welded?
Excellent weldability for a ferritic — Ti stabilization avoids sensitization; use low heat input, 409/430Ti or austenitic 309L filler, no preheat for thin gauge, avoid grain coarsening above ~950 °C.
Can 08Cr17Ti be formed, bent or molded?
Good deep drawing and roll forming with r-value near 1.4; watch for ridging/roping on drawn panels and use larger bend radii than for 304.
What surface finishes work on 08Cr17Ti?
Not anodizable; passivate per ASTM A967, or apply BA/No.4 mechanical finishes, electropolishing or PVD color coatings; keep free of carbon-steel contamination to prevent rust staining.

08Cr17Ti-CD — frequently asked
What is 08Cr17Ti-CD used for?
08Cr17Ti-CD is typically used for automotive trim and exhaust, household appliances, architectural panels and food processing equipment. In short: ti-stabilized 439 equivalent; low-nickel 304 substitute; best-welding ferritic sheet.
What is the yield strength of 08Cr17Ti-CD?
08Cr17Ti-CD has a typical yield strength of 430 MPa (62.4 ksi) and a tensile strength of 560 MPa (81.2 ksi) — stronger than 67% of stainless steel grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 5 listed tempers.
Is 08Cr17Ti-CD easy to machine?
Reasonably — machinability is rated good (55/100, better than 94% of stainless steel grades). Machines like 430 but gummier: sharp tools, rigid setup, positive rake, 20–25% lower speed than carbon steel, generous coolant to avoid built-up edge.
Can 08Cr17Ti-CD be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated very good (78/100). Excellent weldability for a ferritic — Ti stabilization avoids sensitization; use low heat input, 409/430Ti or austenitic 309L filler, no preheat for thin gauge, avoid grain coarsening above ~950 °C.
What surface finishes work on 08Cr17Ti-CD?
Not anodizable; passivate per ASTM A967, or apply BA/No.4 mechanical finishes, electropolishing or PVD color coatings; keep free of carbon-steel contamination to prevent rust staining.
Can 08Cr17Ti-CD be formed, bent or molded?
Good deep drawing and roll forming with r-value near 1.4; watch for ridging/roping on drawn panels and use larger bend radii than for 304.
What is the maximum service temperature of 08Cr17Ti-CD?
08Cr17Ti-CD is rated for continuous use to about 425°C (797 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between 08Cr17Ti Annealed and 08Cr17Ti-CD?
Annealed is the default condition — standard stocked condition for sheet, coil and plate: maximum ductility for deep drawing and forming. CD: standard bar and wire condition for machined fittings, fasteners and welded wire assemblies. Yield strength is 300 MPa in Annealed versus 430 MPa in CD.
