- High Purity
- Applicable Processes
- 3D Printing
- Chemical Composition
Depending on the use conditions, stricter analysis limits apply to certain alloy elements. VDM® Powder 780 contains low amounts of oxygen of up to 0.03%.
- Corrosion Resistance
As a result of the high chromium and cobalt content, conventionally manufactured VDM® Alloy 780 has a good high temperature oxidation resistance.

- Microstructural Properties
VDM® Powder 780 has an austenitic microstructure where different phases can occur. By means of different heat treat-ments, graduated mechanical properties of the material can be achieved. The excellent mechanical properties of VDM® Powder 780 result from the γ'-formation during precipitation hardening.
