Titanium (Ti6Al4V) 3D Printing

Titanium (Ti6Al4V) 3D printing produces lightweight, high-strength parts with excellent corrosion and heat resistance.
  • Superior strength-to-weight ratio
  • High temperature and corrosion resistance
  • Biocompatible for medical applications
titanium 3d printing
Titanium (Ti6Al4V) is a widely used alpha-beta titanium alloy known for its excellent balance of strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Compared to Ti Grade 23 annealed, Ti6Al4V offers mechanical properties comparable to wrought titanium in terms of tensile strength, elongation, and hardness. It is commonly used in aerospace, medical, and high-performance industrial applications. Final parts built in Ti6Al4V undergo vacuum stress relief treatment to enhance structural integrity and reduce residual stresses.
  • Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for high-performance applications
  • Outstanding high-temperature and corrosion resistance in demanding environments
  • Biocompatibility, making it suitable for medical implants and devices
