Selective Laser Melting Produced Ti-6Al-4V: Post-Process Heat Treatments to Achieve Superior Tensile Properties
Current post-process heat treatments applied to selective laser melting produced Ti-6Al-4V do not achieve the same microstructure and therefore superior tensile behaviour of thermomechanical processed wrought Ti-6Al-4V. Due to the growing demand for selective laser melting produced parts in industry, research and development towards improved mechanical properties is ongoing. This study is aimed...
متن کاملHeat Treatment of Ti-6al-4v Produced by Lasercusing
LaserCUSING® is a selective laser melting (SLM) process that is capable of manufacturing parts by melting powder with heat input from a laser beam. LaserCUSING demonstrates potential for producing the intricate geometries specifically required for biomedical implants and aerospace applications. One main limitation to this form of rapid prototyping is the lack of published studies on the materia...
متن کاملAn Overview of Densification, Microstructure and Mechanical Property of Additively Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V — Comparison among Selective Laser Melting, Electron Beam Melting, Laser Metal Deposition and Selective Laser Sintering, and with Conventional Powder Metallurgy
This chapter begins with an introduction of the fundamental properties of Ti-6Al-4V, and its densification mechanism, typical microstructure and mechanical property achievable by conventional PM routes. This functions as a point of reference for the following discussion of the AM Ti-6Al-4V in terms of densification, microstructure, and mechanical property. The mostly popular laser-based AM tech...
متن کاملTi-6Al-4V triply periodic minimal surface structures for bone implants fabricated via selective laser melting.
Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures have already been shown to be a versatile source of biomorphic scaffold designs. Therefore, in this work, Ti-6Al-4V Gyroid and Diamond TPMS lattices having an interconnected high porosity of 80-95% and pore sizes in the range of 560-1600 μm and 480-1450 μm respectively were manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) for bone implants. The man...
متن کاملMICROSTRUCTURE, HARDNESS AND SURFACE ROUGHNESS CHARACTERIZATION OF EBM FABRICATED Ti-6Al-4V SAMPLES
Electron beam melting (EBM) is among the modern additive manufacturing processes whereby metal powders are selectively melted to produce very complicated components with superior mechanical properties. In this study, microstructure, hardness, and surface roughness of EBM fabricated Ti6Al4V samples were characterized. The results showed that the microstructure consisted of epitaxially-grown prim...
