| Abstract Scope |
Recent work has demonstrated that thermo-hydrogen refinement of microstructure (THRM) can be leveraged to improve the properties of Ti-6Al-4V made via laser powder bed fusion (PBF-L), with improvements to strength, ductility, fatigue strength, and endurance limit. Other recent post-processing treatments in Ti-6Al-4V leveraged historical solution treatment and over-aging (STOA) for 100 hours at intermediate temperatures (~550 °C) to precipitate Ti3Al (α2) particles coherent within the α phase of the α + β microstructure, which increased the strength without loss in ductility. The present work seeks to leverage both THRM and STOA, as well as hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to increase the overall mechanical properties of PBF-L Ti-6Al-4V due to the unique nature and starting morphology of the as-built microstructure. |
