Titanium Ti-6Al-4V ELI (AM, F3001) vs Ti-6Al-4V Powder for MIM
Titanium · grade comparison
Titanium Ti-6Al-4V ELI (AM, F3001) and Ti-6Al-4V Powder for MIM are both titanium grades. Ti-6Al-4V ELI (AM, F3001) is the stronger of the two: yield strength 990 MPa (144 ksi) against 790 MPa (115 ksi) for Ti-6Al-4V Powder for MIM, about 25% more; tensile strength follows at 1,080 MPa (157 ksi) vs 880 MPa (128 ksi). Ti-6Al-4V ELI (AM, F3001) is harder — 330 HB against 300 HB for Ti-6Al-4V Powder for MIM — which matters for wear surfaces and threads. Ti-6Al-4V ELI (AM, F3001) is stiffer (114 GPa vs 105 GPa).
Ti-6Al-4V ELI (AM, F3001)Choose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
Ti-6Al-4V ELI (AM, F3001) vs Ti-6Al-4V Powder for MIM: 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.
