Effect of Selective Laser Melting Process Parameters and Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Properties of Titanium Alloys Produced from Elemental Powders

Abstract:

This work investigates the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process for the in-situ synthesis of Ti-5Al and Ti-6Al-4V alloys using elemental powder mixture. Elemental spherical powders were used to prepare a powder mixture and then samples were produced by SLM using different volume energy density. The effects of volume energy density during SLM on samples’ relative density, chemical composition, microstructure and microhardness before and after heat treatment have been studied. It was shown that volume energy density during the SLM process significantly effects the density, microstructure of Ti-5Al and Ti-6Al-4V alloys, as well as, the microhardness of Ti-6Al-4V obtained from elemental powders.
