LaserForm Ni718
LaserForm? Ni718 is oxidation and corrosion-resistant material well suited for service in extreme environments subjected to pressure and heat. When heated, it forms a thick, stable, passivating oxide layer protecting the surface from further attack. It retains strength over a wide temperature range, attractive for high temperature applications where aluminum and steel would succumb to creep as a result of thermally induced crystal vacancies. In addition, LaserForm? Ni718 features a gamma double prime strengthened with good weldability. Typical applications are components for liquid fueled rockets, rings, casings and various formed sheet metal parts for aircraft and land-based gas turbine engines, and cryogenic tankage. It is also used for fasteners and instrumentation parts.
LASERFORM STAINLESS 316L
Austenitic stainless steel type 316L is the extra low carbon grade of 316, generally used because the parts can be machined, spark-eroded, welded, shot-peened, polished and coated if required. Typical applications include engineering for functional prototypes and small to medium series, parts requiring high corrosion resistance and sterilisability, pharmaceutical, food, chemical and process industry parts, and medical tools.
LaserForm Ti Gr. 1
Titanium grade 1 is the purest Ti grade which is known for its’ excellent biocompatibility and low stiffness. Therefore, it is perfectly suited for medical applications and implants. Featuring light weight with extreme temperature and corrosion resistance, and high ductility also make it ideal for motorsports, marine, premium sporting goods, aerospace and aviation applications.
LaserForm Ti Gr. 23
This titanium alloy is a commonly used alloy in technical and medical applications because of its high strength, low weight and its excellent biocompatibility. The essential difference between Ti6Al4V ELI (grade 23) and Ti6Al4V (grade 5) is the allowed higher oxygen and iron content in grade 5. This confers improved strength. Typical applications are light-weight & high-strength, medical implants, medical tools and devices and dental prostheses.
LASERFORM TI GR. 5
This titanium alloy is a commonly used alloy in technical and medical applications because of its high strength, low weight and its excellent biocompatibility. The essential difference between Ti6Al4V ELI (grade 23) and Ti6Al4V (grade 5) is the allowed higher oxygen and iron content in grade 5. This confers improved strength. Typical applications are light-weight & high-strength, medical implants, medical tools and devices and dental prostheses.
