Single-track laser melting experiments were performed on bulk Ti-Nb alloys to explore process parameters and the resultant macroscopic structure and microstructure. The microstructures in Ti-20Nb and Ti-50Nb (at.%) alloys exhibited cellular growth during rapid solidification, with average cell size of approximately 0.5 A mu m. Solidification velocities during cellular growth were calculated from images of melt tracks. Measurements of the composition in the cellular and intercellular regions revealed nonequilibrium partitioning and its dependence on velocity during rapid solidification. Experimental results were used to benchmark a phase-field model to describe rapid solidification under conditions relevant to additive manufacturing.
