| Abstract Scope |
The development of new Beta Ti alloys involves manufacturing using conventional methods (casting, metal forming, machining). The high costs of Ti alloys are due to the complex steps involved during conventional processing. A cost-effective way to produce high-quality titanium alloy components with intricate geometries is powder metallurgy. This paper discusses the best Direct energy deposition processing method and parameters for Ti-Nb-Fe alloy using in-situ alloying and powder premixing. Fabricated parts by first premixing the powders showed better distribution of Nb and Fe. Less un-melted Nb particles were observed on premixed printed parts than in-situ alloyed. |
