Materials

Achieving target material properties is essential for fabrication of primary components for demanding applications. Arcam is committed to ensuring first-class mechanical properties on all qualified materials. Metal powders supplied by Arcam undergo extensive testing before release to customers, and the configuration of the powder is optimised for the EBM process.

Arcam’s high standard metallurgical properties are verified by static and dynamic testing of mechanical properties, chemical composition and detailed analysis of microstructures. EBM-produced materials have no remaining layering effects or weld lines from the additive build process, and the microstructures feature a normal grain structure for each material.

Arcam presently offer the following materials for the EBM process:

• Titanium Ti6Al4V (ASTM F136)
• Titanium Ti6Al4V ELI (ASTM F136)
• Titanium Grade 2 (ASTM F67)
• CoCr Alloy (ASTM F75)
