ASTM B817 Type I Grade 1 Class A Titanium

ASTM B817 type I grade 1 class A is ASTM B817 type I in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. It has the lowest strength and lowest ductility compared to the other variants of ASTM B817 type I.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare ASTM B817 type I grade 1 class A to: powder metallurgy titanium alloys (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.
