Grade 17 (R52252) Titanium

Grade 17 titanium is a titanium alloy formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the annealed condition. R52252 is the UNS number for this material. Additionally, the ASTM designation is Titanium Grade 17.

It has a moderately high electrical conductivity among wrought titaniums. In addition, it has a fairly low tensile strength and the highest thermal conductivity.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare grade 17 titanium to: wrought 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.
