Working with Grade Ti-Pd17-F
Is Grade Ti-Pd17 easy to machine?
Machine like CP titanium: sharp uncoated-carbide or coated tools, low surface speed (~30–60 m/min), heavy positive rake, generous flood coolant; galling and built-up edge are the main issues, never dwell in the cut.
Can Grade Ti-Pd17 be welded?
Excellent GTAW/PAW/EBW weldability with matching Grade 17/Ti-Pd filler; requires full argon/helium shielding of pool, trailing shield and backpurge, scrupulous cleanliness, and weld-zone colour checks (silver/straw only).
Can Grade Ti-Pd17 be formed, bent or molded?
Supplied as vacuum-melted castings (investment shell or rammed graphite); expect ~1.5–2 % shrink allowance, an alpha-case layer to be chemically milled, and weld upgrade of indications per ASTM B367.
What surface finishes work on Grade Ti-Pd17?
Grit blast + pickle (HNO3/HF) to remove alpha case and scale; passivates naturally, can be anodised (AMS 2488) for colour or anti-galling, and polishes to a bright finish; do not plate for corrosion reasons.

Grade Ti-Pd17-F — frequently asked
What is Grade Ti-Pd17-F used for?
Grade Ti-Pd17-F is typically used for chemical tank castings, corrosion-resistant fittings and marine hardware castings. In short: most corrosion-resistant cast titanium; highest-ductility cast Ti grade; pd-alloyed crevice resistance.
What is the yield strength of Grade Ti-Pd17-F?
Grade Ti-Pd17-F has a typical yield strength of 235 MPa (34.1 ksi) and a tensile strength of 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) — weaker than 92% of titanium grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 4 listed tempers.
Is Grade Ti-Pd17-F easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated fair (40/100, better than 93% of titanium grades). Machine like CP titanium: sharp uncoated-carbide or coated tools, low surface speed (~30–60 m/min), heavy positive rake, generous flood coolant; galling and built-up edge are the main issues, never dwell in the cut.
Can Grade Ti-Pd17-F be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated excellent (85/100). Excellent GTAW/PAW/EBW weldability with matching Grade 17/Ti-Pd filler; requires full argon/helium shielding of pool, trailing shield and backpurge, scrupulous cleanliness, and weld-zone colour checks (silver/straw only).
What surface finishes work on Grade Ti-Pd17-F?
Grit blast + pickle (HNO3/HF) to remove alpha case and scale; passivates naturally, can be anodised (AMS 2488) for colour or anti-galling, and polishes to a bright finish; do not plate for corrosion reasons.
Can Grade Ti-Pd17-F be formed, bent or molded?
Supplied as vacuum-melted castings (investment shell or rammed graphite); expect ~1.5–2 % shrink allowance, an alpha-case layer to be chemically milled, and weld upgrade of indications per ASTM B367.
What is the maximum service temperature of Grade Ti-Pd17-F?
Grade Ti-Pd17-F is rated for continuous use to about 300°C (572 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between Grade Ti-Pd17-F and Grade Ti-Pd17-ANN?
F is the default condition — default supply condition for corrosion-service castings where internal porosity is acceptable and only pressure-tightness is required. ANN: use to remove casting and weld-repair residual stresses and to maximise ductility for forming/machining of thin sections. Yield strength is 235 MPa in F versus 220 MPa in ANN.
