Compare all 6 conditionsHide
| Condition · open for datasheet | Best for | Yield MPa | Tensile MPa | Elong. % | Hardness | Conductivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Grade 1 chemistry | Pick for maximum ductility, formability of sintered blanks and best corrosion performance; lowest strength of the CP grades. | 280 | 380 | 24 | 125 HB | 3.4 % IACS |
Sintered + vacuum stress-relief anneal | Pick when dimensional stability after sizing/coining or machining is needed; slight strength drop, small ductility gain, no pore closure. | 350 | 460 | 18 | 152 HB | 3.1 % IACS |
MIM-ASDefault Moulded, debound and vacuum sintered | Default supply condition for MIM CP-Ti parts: 96–99 % dense, properties comparable to annealed wrought Grade 2 except reduced fatigue and ductility. | 380 | 480 | 15 | 160 HB | — |
Grade 2 chemistry | The workhorse MIM CP-Ti chemistry: best balance of strength, ductility and cost; matches the default grade properties. | 380 | 480 | 15 | 160 HB | 3.1 % IACS |
Sintered then hot isostatically pressed | Pick for fatigue-critical or implant parts: HIP closes residual pores, raising density to ≥99.5 % and roughly doubling fatigue life. | 420 | 520 | 20 | 165 HB | 16 W/m·K |
Grade 4 chemistry | Pick when the highest unalloyed-Ti strength is needed (dental/surgical instruments); ductility and impact toughness drop markedly. | 520 | 620 | 11 | 22 HRC | 2.8 % IACS |

What is CP-Ti Powder for MIM?
CP-Ti powder for MIM is fine spherical gas-atomized or HDH commercially pure titanium feedstock to ASTM F2885 / UNS R50250, moulded and sintered to near-net-shape small precision parts. Sintered properties approach wrought CP Ti: 380 MPa yield, 480 MPa tensile, 15 % elongation, 160 HB (85 HRB), 100 GPa modulus and 4.4 g/cm³ density, with service to 300 °C; Grade 1, 2 and 4 chemistries and as-sintered, HIP and vacuum-annealed conditions are on file. It suits complex millimetre-scale geometries that are costly to machine from bar. Residual porosity limits fatigue and weld quality unless HIPed, and machinability of sintered stock is low (25). CP-Ti Powder for MIM has a density of 4.4 g/cm³ (0.159 lb/in³), lighter than 98% of titanium grades. It melts at 1,668°C (3,034 °F). CP-Ti Powder for MIM has a yield strength of 380 MPa (55.1 ksi) and a tensile strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) — weaker than 73% of titanium grades. Elongation at break is 15% and the elastic modulus is 100 GPa (14.5 Msi).

Working with CP-Ti Powder for MIM
Is CP-Ti Powder for MIM easy to machine?
Sintered CP-Ti machines like wrought Grade 2 — low speed, high feed, sharp uncoated carbide and flood coolant; avoid dwelling (work-hardening and fire risk from fine chips/powder).
Can CP-Ti Powder for MIM be welded?
GTAW/laser/resistance welding under full argon shielding works well on HIPed parts; as-sintered porosity can outgas and cause weld porosity, so pre-bake and use HIPed material for critical joints.
Can CP-Ti Powder for MIM be formed, bent or molded?
Feedstock at 50–62 vol % solids, mould 160–190 °C tool 30–50 °C; solvent/catalytic + thermal debinding then vacuum (<10⁻² Pa) or high-purity Ar sintering at 1250–1350 °C with 13–18 % linear shrinkage — never sinter in nitrogen or on graphite without a Y₂O₃ barrier.

What surface finishes work on CP-Ti Powder for MIM?
Bead blasting, tumbling, chemical etch (HNO₃/HF) for oxide removal, then Type II colour or Type III anodising; passivation per ASTM F86 for medical parts, PVD/DLC and plasma nitriding also used for wear.
