SLM METHOD
- It is a part production method by melting powder particles layer by layer with the help of laser beam.
- The produced part is protected against oxidation by the inert gas flow created during the process in the production cabin.

Ti64
Titanium (Ti) is a material with a density approximately 56% lower than steel and a high tensile strength/density ratio. Due to its high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, titanium components are found in a wide range of applications. It is widely used in the aerospace and aviation sectors, as well as in the medical field due to its biocompatibility. Ti6Al4V alloy is the most common titanium alloy worldwide. Spherical Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy powder offers high sphericity, low oxygen content, high density and controlled grain size.
