Brief introduction

Titanium TC4 is a highly versatile titanium alloy known for its exceptional properties. Its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio makes it invaluable in aerospace and weight-sensitive applications, while its remarkable corrosion resistance lends itself well to marine, chemical, and biomedical uses. Notably, its biocompatibility makes it a preferred choice for medical implants and prosthetics. Additionally, it offers ease of weldability and can be effectively machined with appropriate tools and techniques.

Heat treatment

Grade 23 titanium is soft annealed at 650 to 1100 °C and stress relieved at 450 to 600 °C for approx. 8 hours. The heat treatment requires a protective gas atmosphere or a vacuum atmosphere, due to the high affinity of titanium to absorb oxygen and become brittle.

Recommendations are for guidance only and the suitability of the material for any application can only be confirmed upon getting to know the actual service conditions. Continuous development may cause changes in technical data without any prior notice. The current datasheet is only valid for EPlus3D materials.
All test data has been created with a well-maintained machine with well-maintained powder if machine is operated incorrectly or the feed material is not maintained performance of the material may not be seen.
Alterations to the parameter sets after they have been provided to the customer may also affect the overall performance of the material.
All tensile testing carried out to (DIN EN ISO 6892-1: 2020-06: A224, DIN 50125:2022-08: B6x30). Orientation Z defined as vertical perpendicular to the build plate. XY orientation defined as Parallel to the plate in the X or Y direction of the top view of the plate.
All Hardness measurements carried out to standard (ISO 6508-1:2016).
