Nikon SLM Solutions Ti6Al4V ELI (Grade 23) is that maker's extra-low-interstitial Ti-6Al-4V grade, printed by laser powder bed fusion and annealed. As built, the alloy has columnar prior-beta grains along the build direction filled with fine acicular martensite, and high residual stress. Annealing relieves that stress and decomposes the martensite into a fine alpha-beta structure, improving ductility, but does not close porosity, so fatigue-critical parts are often also hot isostatically pressed. Parts need supports, and their rough surfaces are usually machined. It is used for aerospace brackets and orthopaedic and dental implant components, including porous lattices. Every value on this page is read from Nikon SLM Solutions' own material data sheet — quoted, cited and dated — and is the maker's statement about printed material, not a measurement by MatWorld; none has yet been reviewed by a person.
