Ti6Al4V/SiC Metal Matrix Composites Additively Manufactured by Direct Laser Deposition

C. Sanchez de Rojas Candela et al.

Summary: In this study, highly reinforced Ti6Al4V matrix composites with SiC particles were successfully additively manufactured using direct laser deposition. The laser scanning speed was found to significantly affect the geometry, microstructure, and microhardness of the samples. The effect of SiC particle sizes and concentrations on the microstructure and the reaction mechanisms were evaluated. The results demonstrated that the reinforcement percentage was lower than expected due to the reactivity between the reinforcement and matrix, resulting in the formation of TiC and Si5Ti3. The findings have important implications for optimizing the additive manufacturing process and the final properties of composite materials.

Effect of Elevated Temperatures on the Mechanical Properties of a Direct Laser Deposited Ti-6Al-4V

Sergei Ivanov et al.

Summary: The mechanical properties of the DLD-processed Ti-6Al-4V alloy were investigated through tensile tests at different temperatures from 20°C to 800°C. It was found that the yield strength and tensile strength decrease gradually above 500°C, while the Young's modulus showed higher thermal stability compared to conventionally processed alloys. The stress relaxation processes were found to be crucial for residual stress formation at temperatures above 700°C, particularly for small-sized parts produced by the DLD method.

Marina Gushchina et al.

Summary: Additive manufacturing of titanium alloys is a rapidly growing area in 3D metal printing, especially within the aviation industry. Inconsistent thermal history during deposition can result in non-uniform structure and properties, potentially leading to product failure. Heat treatment can be used to achieve uniform performance regardless of initial structure.
