AWS BAg-13a vs. Grade 12 Titanium

AWS BAg-13a belongs to the otherwise unclassified metals classification, while grade 12 titanium belongs to the titanium alloys. There are 17 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (16, in this case) are not shown. Please note that the two materials have significantly dissimilar densities. This means that additional care is required when interpreting the data, because some material properties are based on units of mass, while others are based on units of area or volume.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AWS BAg-13a and the bottom bar is grade 12 titanium.
