ASTM B817 Type II Grade 2 Class B Titanium
ASTM B817 type II grade 2 class B is ASTM B817 type II in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. It has the highest ductility compared to the other variants of ASTM B817 type II.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare ASTM B817 type II grade 2 class B 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.
