Titanium (Ti6Al4V) is a workhorse alloy. Versus Ti grade 23 annealed, the mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V are comparable to wrought titanium for tensile strength, elongation, and hardness. Final parts built in Ti6Al4V receive vacuum stress relief application.Primary BenefitsHigh stiffness and strength relative to weightHigh temperature and corrosion resistance
Know Your Titanium
Titanium Ti-6Al-4V is prized for precision manufacturing, biocompatible medical devices, the aerospace and automotive industries, military applications, and other areas where complex geometries and precision components are required, such as in prototyping and production tooling.
Titanium’s best mechanical attributes can be found when alloyed with other metals. Ti-6Al is 40% lighter than 17-4 PH stainless steel yet boasts a much higher strength-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal choice for industries that value lightweight components.
Less common titanium variants in additive manufacturing are Titanium Ti GR23, grade 23, a biocompatible metal, and Cp-Ti (Pure Titanium), grade 1, widely used in the medical industry for prosthetics and implants.
