What are the mechanical properties that occur during a melt when using NASA’s EBF3?
Tests after standard heat treatments demonstrated that products made using NASA’s EBF3 have properties similar to plate products when subjected to equivalent heat treatments. For example, Ti-6Al-4V as deposited using NASA’s EBF3 system is similar to a mill-annealed plate of Ti-6Al-4V that is, 90 100 ksi (620 690 MPa) tensile yield, 120 ksi (825 MPa) tensile ultimate, >10% total elongation.
