Grade 30 Titanium vs. Grade 4 Titanium
Both grade 30 titanium and grade 4 titanium are titanium alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. Their average alloy composition is basically identical. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is grade 30 titanium and the bottom bar is grade 4 titanium.
