CP-Ti Powder for MIM vs Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924) — frequently asked

Is Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924) stronger than CP-Ti Powder for MIM?

Yes. Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924) has a typical yield strength of 1,040 MPa (151 ksi) against 380 MPa (55.1 ksi) for CP-Ti Powder for MIM — about 174% more. Tensile strength is 1,150 MPa (167 ksi) vs 480 MPa (69.6 ksi).

Which is cheaper, CP-Ti Powder for MIM or Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924)?

Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$$, high); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.

Which is easier to machine, CP-Ti Powder for MIM or Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924)?

CP-Ti Powder for MIM, by a small margin. Both rate poor for machinability — 25/100 against 18/100 for Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924); for welding the order is Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924) first (good, 65/100) then CP-Ti Powder for MIM (good, 55/100).
