Grade Ti-Pd18 Cast Titanium

Grade Ti-Pd18 titanium is a titanium alloy formulated for casting. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. It has a moderately high embodied energy among the cast titaniums in the database.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare grade Ti-Pd18 titanium to: cast titaniums (top), all titanium alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
