Ti6Al4V Titanium Alloy General characteristics The high strength, low weight ratio and outstanding corrosion resistance inherent to titanium and its alloys has led to a wide and diversified range of successful applications which demand high levels of reliable performance in surgery and medicine as well as in aerospace, automotive, chemical plant, power generation, oil and gas extraction, sports, and other major industries. In the majority of these and other engineering applications titanium has replaced heavier, less serviceable or less cost-effective materials. Designing with titanium...

Ti6Al4V parts manufactured in the EBM process have a microstructure better than cast Ti6Al4V containing a lamellar α-phase with larger β-grains, and with a higher density and significantly finer grain, thanks to the rapid cooling of the melt pool. The build chamber is kept at an elevated temperature throughout the entire build, and the material thus comes out of the EBM process in a naturally aged condition.
