Abstract Scope |
The effect of varying cooling rates is studied on the microstructural evolution of Titanium-Niobium (Ti-Nb) based alloys with Tantalum (Ta) additions. A combined simulation and experimental approach is used to investigate the predictability of differences in microstructural evolution between rapid casting and additive manufacturing (AM) processes. Rods of Ti-25Nb and Ti-20Nb-10Ta (wt% and hereafter) were manufactured in diameters from 3mm to 10mm using suction casting into copper moulds. Finite element (FE) and thermodynamic modelling was used to calculate the cooling rates and temperature gradients of the alloys. Laser remelted surfaces were produced using varying AM parameters (laser power, scan speed, hatch spacing), the solidification parameters of which were estimated using the Rosenthal model for a moving heat source. The microstructural and mechanical differences between rapid casting and AM processing conditions were determined via SEM/EDS, XRD, and mechanical testing. |
