What is Ti Grade 7-AW?
Ti Grade 7-AW is Ti Grade 7 heat treated to AW — property basis for welded tube/pipe and fabricated vessels welded with matching Ti-0.2Pd filler under full inert shielding. Ti Grade 7-AW has a yield strength of 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) and a tensile strength of 430 MPa (62.4 ksi) — weaker than 79% of titanium grades. Elongation at break is 18% and the elastic modulus is 105 GPa (15.2 Msi). Ti Grade 7-AW has a density of 4.51 g/cm³ (0.163 lb/in³), heavier than 57% of titanium grades. It melts at 1,660°C (3,020 °F). Annealed is the default condition FabDigit quotes; AW is available on request or by drawing note.

Working with Ti Grade 7-AW
Is Ti Grade 7 easy to machine?
Machine like CP Ti: low surface speed, heavy positive-rake sharp tools, rigid setup and flood coolant to avoid galling, work-hardening and chip fires.
Can Ti Grade 7 be welded?
Excellent GTAW/PAW/EBW weldability with matching ERTi-7 filler; requires full argon shielding of pool, root and hot trailing zone to prevent oxygen/hydrogen pickup.
Can Ti Grade 7 be formed, bent or molded?
Good cold formability with generous bend radii (2–3 t) and allowance for springback; warm forming 200–400 °C helps deep draws and hot-formed heads.
What surface finishes work on Ti Grade 7?
Pickle in HNO3/HF after hot work to remove alpha case; can be colour anodised, glass-bead blasted or polished — avoid iron contamination from carbon-steel tooling.

Ti Grade 7-AW — frequently asked
What is Ti Grade 7-AW used for?
Ti Grade 7-AW is typically used for chemical process equipment in reducing acids, flue-gas desulfurization components, heat exchangers and seawater equipment with crevice risk. In short: highest corrosion resistance in family; palladium-stabilized crevice resistance; highest-cost CP grade.
What is the yield strength of Ti Grade 7-AW?
Ti Grade 7-AW has a typical yield strength of 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) and a tensile strength of 430 MPa (62.4 ksi) — weaker than 79% of titanium grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 4 listed tempers.
Is Ti Grade 7-AW easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated fair (35/100, better than 78% of titanium grades). Machine like CP Ti: low surface speed, heavy positive-rake sharp tools, rigid setup and flood coolant to avoid galling, work-hardening and chip fires.
Can Ti Grade 7-AW be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated excellent (85/100). Excellent GTAW/PAW/EBW weldability with matching ERTi-7 filler; requires full argon shielding of pool, root and hot trailing zone to prevent oxygen/hydrogen pickup.
What surface finishes work on Ti Grade 7-AW?
Pickle in HNO3/HF after hot work to remove alpha case; can be colour anodised, glass-bead blasted or polished — avoid iron contamination from carbon-steel tooling.
Can Ti Grade 7-AW be formed, bent or molded?
Good cold formability with generous bend radii (2–3 t) and allowance for springback; warm forming 200–400 °C helps deep draws and hot-formed heads.
What is the maximum service temperature of Ti Grade 7-AW?
Ti Grade 7-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 7 Annealed and Ti Grade 7 CW-SR?
Annealed is the default condition — standard stocked condition for plate, sheet, tube and bar in corrosion service; best ductility and formability. CW-SR: choose when higher strength and tighter tolerance are needed in small tube, bar or wire while keeping Grade 7 corrosion performance. Yield strength is 320 MPa in Annealed versus 470 MPa in CW-SR.
