Heat treatment and post-processing
Operations FabDigit's suppliers routinely run on Grade 23, ranked by how often they make sense for this grade.
Heat treatment
| Solution Treat + Age (Ti) | Ti-6Al-4V to peak strength |
|---|---|
| Full Anneal | Restore ductility; relieve residual stress; coarsen grain |
| Stress Relief | Reduce residual stress without changing structure |
| Hot Isostatic Press (HIP) | Eliminate porosity in cast / 3DP parts |

Property data is compiled from published supplier and standards handbooks and normalised for comparison; hardness values on non-Brinell scales are converted approximately for charting only. Manufacturability limits are FabDigit quote-engine defaults and may be relaxed by engineering review. Nothing on this page is a certification — request mill certs, CoC or material test reports with your order.
