| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing, specifically wire deposition techniques, offers a promising alternative for producing titanium alloy components in the aerospace industry. However, the process has certain limitations and the resulting microstructures require further investigation. This work aims to optimize heat treatment parameters to improve the damage tolerance of Ti-6Al-4V parts manufactured by wire deposition, with the goal of achieving mechanical performance comparable to traditional processes and heat treated with β annealing.
A multi-scale characterization will be carried out, using Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDS), to analyze the microstructural evolution post-heat treatment. Mechanical tests, including tensile, fatigue, and crack propagation, will then be performed to determine the suitability of the heat treatment developed with regard to mechanical properties. |
