Titanium Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924) vs Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) AM Powder
Titanium · grade comparison
Titanium Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924) and Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) AM Powder are both titanium grades. Both yield at about 1,040 MPa — strength does not separate them. Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) AM Powder is the more ductile: elongation 13% versus 11% for Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924). On the shop floor, Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) AM Powder welds better (very good vs good).

Ti-6Al-4V (AM, F2924) vs Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) AM Powder: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all titanium grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.
