Electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) which is one of directed energy deposition (DED) method uses high power density of electrons as an energy source. EBAM offers an undeniable impact on manufacturing technology. Through EBAM, it is possible to save time and cost of production with high efficiency, enable the production of large-scale components and reduce machining time with near net shape experienced rapid production. Suitable sets of process parameters were determined to get stable deposition of beads. “Liquid metal bridge” material transfer mode with minimum energy input was preferred without delamination of beads (Pixner et al.). In order to gain acceptance of Ti-6Al-4V alloys produced by EBAM instead of traditional manufacturing methods, this paper aims to understand broadly mechanical properties and microstructural features of EBAM walls. Due to the complex thermal cycles and solid-state phase transformations, graded features of Ti-6Al-4V were observed. Results has been compared with wrought Ti-6Al-4V alloy. |
