Premium Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5 / TC4) Titanium Alloy Powder is engineered specifically for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and other metal additive manufacturing processes. With a tightly controlled particle size distribution of 15–45μm, spherical morphology, and excellent flowability (45S Hall Flow), this powder ensures consistent layer deposition, high build success rates, and superior mechanical properties in complex, lightweight geometries.

Designed for aerospace, medical implant, automotive racing, and marine applications requiring exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility — ideal for aircraft brackets, spinal cages, dental abutments, engine components, and prosthetic limbs. After SLM processing, parts achieve near-full density (≥99%), with tensile strength ≥1000 MPa, yield strength ≥900 MPa, elongation up to 10%, and hardness of 294 HB — meeting or exceeding ASTM F136 and AMS 4928 standards.

Key Advantages:

Low interstitial content: O ≤1300ppm, N ≤400ppm, H ≤120ppm — minimizes embrittlement & cracking
Low apparent density (2.5 g/cm³) enables efficient powder handling and reduced material waste
Fully traceable chemical composition compliant with ASTM B348 Grade 5 / AMS 4928 specifications
Suitable for post-processing: stress relief, HIP, machining, polishing, anodizing, coating

FAQ:

Q1: What is SLM technology?

A1: Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a 3D printing technique that builds metal parts by selectively melting metal powder layers with a high-energy laser according to each layer’s cross-sectional profile.

Q2: How does the SLM process work?

A2: In SLM, a recoating blade spreads a layer of metal powder over a build platform. The laser melts the powder based on the part’s design. This process repeats, lowering the platform and adding new powder layers until the part is fully formed.

Q3: Why is an inert environment necessary for SLM?

A3: The SLM process occurs in a vacuum or under inert gas to prevent oxidation and unwanted reactions at high temperatures, ensuring material purity and integrity.

Q4: What are the advantages of Forgecise’s SLM technology?

A4: Forgecise’s SLM uses high-energy lasers with fine spot diameters to rapidly produce complex parts with superior dimensional accuracy, density, and mechanical properties compared to traditional manufacturing methods.

Q5: What are typical applications of Forgecise’s SLM technology?

A5: Forgecise’s SLM technology is ideal for quickly manufacturing high-precision, high-quality metal components used in industries like aerospace, medical, automotive, and tooling.
