Book excerpt: "Additive manufacturing (AM) is an attractive solution to reduce processing cost of complex components. The interest of the aerospace industry into Ti-6Al-4V resides in its excellent strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance properties. As of today, control of the process to structure to property relationship for AM technologies remains challenging. This research investigates the effects of some key laser wire deposition (LWD) parameters and various post deposition heat treatments on the developed microstructure and subsequent properties of the deposited Ti-6Al-4V materials. The effect of two different travel speeds on the structural development of thin Ti-6Al-4V deposits was investigated. A travel speed set at 1.4 mm/s promoted recrystallization of columnar prior [beta] grains into horizontal prior [beta] grains and a diffusion-controlled type of microstructure. A travel speed set at 7.2 mm/s resulted in higher cooling rates that produced a refined microstructure while no recrystallization of the prior [beta] grains has been observed. Next the effect of five different post deposition heat treatments were investigated. A stress relief preserved the morphology of the deposited samples while annealing or HIP, followed or not by aging, coarsened the developed microstructure. The lower travel speed exhibited a strong anisotropy in elongation with lower values generated along the build direction as opposed to the isotropic results in elongation at higher travel speed. Moreover, samples processed at 7.2 mm/s produced high strength meeting the minimum wrought requirements as set by the AMS4911. Eventually, the grain boundary strengthening mechanism with regards to the [alpha] platelets thicknesses was found to be travel speed dependent. Thick samples were characterized by the deposition of multiple lateral beads within one layer. Thermal history was first investigated through the development of a FEM model reproducing the deposition process. Typical macrostructures and microstructures that developed post deposit were then investigated. Subsequent static tensile properties were found to be hardly meeting the cast minimum requirements as set by the ASTM F1108. No anisotropy in the impact toughness properties was observed. Eventually, HIP did not induce any major improvement of the mechanical properties for both thin and thick specimens and is not required for LWD applications. All the previous findings were eventually applied for the printing of a large Ti-6Al-4V aerospace component. The deposition strategy was presented. Destructive and non-destructive testing were done to check the printed part geometry and the process to structure to properties relationship. The printed part was characterized with a buy-to-fly ratio (BTF) of about 3.2:1 as opposed to a BTF ratio of 30.8:1 when using conventional subtractive processes." --

Download or read book Additive Manufacturing Laser Deposition of Ti 6Al 4V for Aerospace Repair Application written by Nanda Kumar Dey and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Parts or products machined from high performance metals are very expensive, partly due to the processing complexities during manufacturing. Therefore, many high performance metal parts users, such as the aerospace industry, mold/die casting industry, heavy machinery consumers etc., extend the service of these damaged parts by employing repair or remanufacturing technology. The research objective is to use laser deposition and machining processes to repair titanium parts. This thesis discusses a new way of approach for developing a repair process for Ti-6Al-4V for the aerospace industry using Laser Metal Deposition (LMD). The repairs were conducted in a multi-axis hybrid manufacturing systems in which the laser deposition and the machining processes are integrated. The study broadly included preparing the defects, laser deposition, machining, sample preparations and mechanical tests. Comparative study of mechanical properties (UTS, YS, percentage elongation) of the repaired samples to the ideal conditions was undertaken. The research throws up interesting facts where the data from the test sample shows enhancement of properties of the repaired part."--Abstract, page iv.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys: State of the Art, Challenges and Opportunities provides alternative methods to the conventional approach for the fabrication of the majority of titanium components produced via the cast and wrought technique, a process which involves a considerable amount of expensive machining. In contrast, the Additive Manufacturing (AM) approach allows very close to final part configuration to be directly fabricated minimizing machining cost, while achieving mechanical properties at least at cast and wrought levels. In addition, the book offers the benefit of significant savings through better material utilization for parts with high buy-to-fly ratios (ratio of initial stock mass to final part mass before and after manufacturing). As titanium additive manufacturing has attracted considerable attention from both academicians and technologists, and has already led to many applications in aerospace and terrestrial systems, as well as in the medical industry, this book explores the unique shape making capabilities and attractive mechanical properties which make titanium an ideal material for the additive manufacturing industry. - Includes coverage of the fundamentals of microstructural evolution in titanium alloys - Introduces readers to the various Additive Manufacturing Technologies, such as Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) - Looks at the future of Titanium Additive Manufacturing - Provides a complete review of the science, technology, and applications of Titanium Additive Manufacturing (AM)
