The EBM machine ( Fi g u re 3) produces components from Ti6Al4V (titanium–6 percent–aluminum 4 percent Vanadium, or Ti64) and Ti 6 A l 4 V ELI, two “workhorse” alloys in manufacturing. The Ti64 parts exhibit properties (see EBM Ti6AL4V Properties sidebar, page 2 0 ) that match those of wrought materials and exceed those of investment castings. The parts are 100 percent dense directly from the EBM machine, so there is no need for secondary infiltration processes. If desired, the Ti64 parts can be HIP (hot isostatic pressing) treated.
