Working with Ti Grade 19 STA-H
Is Ti Grade 19 easy to machine?
Machine with rigid setups, sharp uncoated-carbide or PVD-coated tools, low surface speed (15–30 m/min aged), heavy feed and flood high-pressure coolant; never dwell, and machine in the solution-treated state where possible.
Can Ti Grade 19 be welded?
GTAW/plasma/EB weld with full inert-gas or vacuum shielding and matching filler; welds are soft as-welded and should be re-solution treated and aged to restore strength.
Can Ti Grade 19 be formed, bent or molded?
Cold form, coil, bend and draw in the solution-treated condition (springback is high, allow generous overbend), then age to final strength; hot work above the ~730–760 °C beta transus.
What surface finishes work on Ti Grade 19?
Pickle in HNO₃/HF or grit-blast plus chemical clean to remove alpha case; color anodize per AMS 2488 Type II, or apply dry-film lube/anti-gall coatings for threaded parts.

Ti Grade 19 STA-H — frequently asked
What is Ti Grade 19 STA-H used for?
Ti Grade 19 STA-H is typically used for aerospace fasteners and springs, landing gear components and high-strength structural parts. In short: heat-treatable beta titanium; cold formable then aged; low modulus spring alloy.
What is the yield strength of Ti Grade 19 STA-H?
Ti Grade 19 STA-H has a typical yield strength of 1,240 MPa (180 ksi) and a tensile strength of 1,310 MPa (190 ksi) — stronger than 100% of titanium grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 4 listed tempers.
Is Ti Grade 19 STA-H easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated not recommended (12/100, worse than 100% of titanium grades). Machine with rigid setups, sharp uncoated-carbide or PVD-coated tools, low surface speed (15–30 m/min aged), heavy feed and flood high-pressure coolant; never dwell, and machine in the solution-treated state where possible.
Can Ti Grade 19 STA-H be welded?
With care — weldability is rated fair (35/100). GTAW/plasma/EB weld with full inert-gas or vacuum shielding and matching filler; welds are soft as-welded and should be re-solution treated and aged to restore strength.
What surface finishes work on Ti Grade 19 STA-H?
Pickle in HNO₃/HF or grit-blast plus chemical clean to remove alpha case; color anodize per AMS 2488 Type II, or apply dry-film lube/anti-gall coatings for threaded parts.
Can Ti Grade 19 STA-H be formed, bent or molded?
Cold form, coil, bend and draw in the solution-treated condition (springback is high, allow generous overbend), then age to final strength; hot work above the ~730–760 °C beta transus.
What is the maximum service temperature of Ti Grade 19 STA-H?
Ti Grade 19 STA-H 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 19-ST and Ti Grade 19 STA-H?
ST is the default condition — pick for cold forming, coiling of springs, deep drawing or machining before a final aging cycle. STA-H: pick for maximum strength fasteners, springs and downhole tools where ductility and toughness can be traded away. Yield strength is 860 MPa in ST versus 1,240 MPa in STA-H.
