Short description
This standard supplements the standard VDI 3405 Part 2 which deals with additive manufacturing processes of metal parts using beam melting and providing a material data sheet for 1.2709 tool steel (maraging steel). The standard describes the material data of the nickel alloy material number 2.4668 (Inconel® 718). The test procedures and methods described in VDI 3405 Part 2 were used. Since all these procedures and methods correspond to recognised industry standards, it is possible to compare the characteristic values with those of conventional manufacturing processes.
