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 replaces heavier, less serviceable or less cost-effective
materials. Designs made using the properties provided by
titanium often result in reliable, economic and more durable
systems and components. These titanium components often
substantially exceed performance and service life expectations
at a lower overall cost.
Titanium is available in several different grades. Pure titanium
is not as strong as the different titanium alloys are. Ti6Al4V is
the most widely used titanium alloy. It features good machinability
and excellent mechanical properties. The alloy offers
the best all-round performance for a variety of weight reduction
applications in aerospace, automotive and marine equipment.
Ti6Al4V also has numerous applications in the medical
industry. The biocompatibility of Ti6Al4V is excellent,
especially when direct contact with tissue or bone is required.
Special characteristics
Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) is very similar to Ti6Al4V (Grade 5),
except that Ti6Al4V ELI contains reduced levels of oxygen,
nitrogen, carbon and iron. ELI is short for “Extra Low Interstitials”,
and these lower interstitials provide improved ductility
and better fracture toughness for the Ti6Al4V ELI material.
Applications
Ti6Al4V ELI is typically used for:
– Biomedical implants
– Aerospace components
– Cryogenic applications
– Offshore equipment
The alloy’s high resistance to
stress corrosion cracking (SCC)
in sea water makes Ti6Al4V ELI
an obvious choice in applications
that require both high strength
and corrosion resistance.
Powder specification
The Arcam Titanium Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) is a gas-atomized
powder with a particle size between 45 and 100 microns. This
limit on the minimum particle size ensures safe handling of
the powder.
Please refer to the Arcam MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)
for more information about the handling and safety of the
Arcam Ti6Al4V ELI alloy.

The mechanical properties of materials produced in the EBM process are comparable
to wrought annealed materials and are better than cast materials.
POST PROCESSING
Heat treatment
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is recommended for fatigue-loaded
components. The following HIP parameters are recommended:
– 920° C
– 1000 bar
– 120 minutes
Machining
Ti6Al4V ELI parts manufactured in the EBM process feature
good machinability and can be machined without additional
operations.
The following factors contribute to efficient machining of
Ti6Al4V ELI parts:
– Low cutting speeds
– High feed rate
– Generous quantities of cutting fluid
– Sharp tools
– Rigid setup
Welding
Ti6Al4V ELI may be welded by a wide variety of conventional
fusion and solid-state processes, although its chemical reactivity
typically requires special measures and procedures.
