| Abstract Scope |
Laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) has been used to produce α+β titanium (Ti) alloys, such as Ti-6Al-4V. Nevertheless, these materials typically consist of supersaturated α' martensite, rather than the desired α+β phases. This often leads to poor ductility and low toughness. The α' martensite can be decomposed into α+β phases in the PBF-LB process by adjusting building parameters, such as stage temperature and laser focus offset. However, these parameters are not always adjustable in general PBF-LB machines. Considering that this decomposition is ruled by the diffusion of solutes, the present study aims to evaluate the feasibility of promoting the in-situ formation of α+β phases using minor amounts of fast diffusive elements, such as Mn. Ti-Mn alloys and Ti-6Al-4V were fabricated using PBF-LB with various laser parameters. The microstructures and phase compositions were characterized using several microscopy techniques, and their mechanical properties were evaluated through tensile testing. |
