Grade 14 (R53414) Titanium
Grade 14 titanium is a titanium alloy formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the annealed condition. R53414 is the UNS number for this material. Additionally, the ASTM designation is Titanium Grade 14.
It has a moderately high ductility among the wrought titaniums in the database.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare grade 14 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.
