ASTM B817 Type II vs. Grade 23 Titanium
Both ASTM B817 type II and grade 23 titanium are titanium alloys. They have a moderately high 95% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (6, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM B817 type II and the bottom bar is grade 23 titanium.
