Effect of Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Additive Manufactured Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V Alloy

Abstract

Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V (TA15), widely used in the aerospace industry, is a medium- to high-strength, near-α titanium alloy with high aluminium equivalent value The TA15 fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) normally presents a typical brittle appearance in as-built status, with high strength and low ductility. In this study, the microstructure and properties of L-PBF TA15 were engineered by various heat treatments below the β-transus temperature (1022 °C). After heat treatment, the original acicular martensite gradually transforms into a typical lamellar α + β dual-phase structure. Withannealing temperature increases, the lamellar α phase thickened with a decreased aspect ratio. Globularisation of the α grain can be noticed when annealing above 800 °C, which leads to a balance between strength and ductility. After heat treatment between 800–900 °C, the desired combination of strength and ductility can be achieved, with elongation of about 12.5% and ultimate tensile strength of about 1100 Mpa.

The Effect of Novel Complex Treatment of Annealing and Sandblasting on the Microstructure and Performance of Welded TA1 Titanium Plate

“…At present, there are two kinds of methods for producing copper foil, one is calendering, and the other is electrolysis [ 3 , 4 ]. Electrolytic production of copper foil is an efficient production method developed in recent years [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. This technology has two major advantages, high efficiency and low cost [ 8 ].…”
