چکیده
Usually additive manufactured metal parts are showing a different mechanical behavior compared to conventionally produced parts used the same material. Apart from process-related macroscopic part imperfections (pores, surface roughness, etc.) the microstructure has a decisive influence on the mechanical properties of the materials. Thus, in order to optimize mechanical properties of metal parts a heat treatment for changing microstructures is routinely applied in most production lines to meet the product requirements. By means of the Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V the optimization of the staticand the fracture mechanical behavior by changing the microstructure with a heat treatment after the SLM process is discussed on the present work.
