What is Ti Grade 11-AW?
Ti Grade 11-AW is Ti Grade 11 heat treated to AW — property set for welded Grade 11 tube (B338 welded) and autogenous GTAW joints in inert-gas-shielded fabrication. Ti Grade 11-AW has a yield strength of 220 MPa (31.9 ksi) and a tensile strength of 310 MPa (45 ksi) — weaker than 97% of titanium grades.

Working with Ti Grade 11-AW
Is Ti Grade 11 easy to machine?
Machine like CP Ti: low speed, heavy positive-rake sharp carbide, high feed and flood coolant to avoid galling, work hardening and chip fires.
Can Ti Grade 11 be welded?
Excellent GTAW/PAW/EBW weldability with trailing-shield and back-purge argon; keep the weld and HAZ below ~200 ppm oxygen pick-up (bright silver bead) and never weld in air.
Can Ti Grade 11 be formed, bent or molded?
Best cold formability of the CP grades — bend radii of ~2t are routine; allow for high springback or warm-form at 150–300 °C.
What surface finishes work on Ti Grade 11?
Pickle in HNO3/HF to remove alpha case and scale, then passivate; colour anodizing and electropolishing both work well, plating is rarely used.

Ti Grade 11-AW — frequently asked
What is Ti Grade 11-AW used for?
Ti Grade 11-AW is typically used for chemical process piping, pressure vessels needing forming and corrosion resistance and desalination equipment. In short: most formable CP-family grade; grade 1 ductility with Pd corrosion resistance; lowest strength in family.
What is the yield strength of Ti Grade 11-AW?
Ti Grade 11-AW has a typical yield strength of 220 MPa (31.9 ksi) and a tensile strength of 310 MPa (45 ksi) — weaker than 97% of titanium grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 5 listed tempers.
Is Ti Grade 11-AW easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated fair (36/100, better than 82% of titanium grades). Machine like CP Ti: low speed, heavy positive-rake sharp carbide, high feed and flood coolant to avoid galling, work hardening and chip fires.
Can Ti Grade 11-AW be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated excellent (90/100). Excellent GTAW/PAW/EBW weldability with trailing-shield and back-purge argon; keep the weld and HAZ below ~200 ppm oxygen pick-up (bright silver bead) and never weld in air.
What surface finishes work on Ti Grade 11-AW?
Pickle in HNO3/HF to remove alpha case and scale, then passivate; colour anodizing and electropolishing both work well, plating is rarely used.
Can Ti Grade 11-AW be formed, bent or molded?
Best cold formability of the CP grades — bend radii of ~2t are routine; allow for high springback or warm-form at 150–300 °C.
What is the maximum service temperature of Ti Grade 11-AW?
Ti Grade 11-AW 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 Ti Grade 11-ANN and Ti Grade 11-CW?
ANN is the default condition — standard stocked condition for corrosion service: maximum ductility and formability, meets ASTM B265/B338/B348 Grade 11. CW: choose when higher strength and straightness are needed and forming is finished; ductility drops sharply. Yield strength is 210 MPa in ANN versus 410 MPa in CW.
