This book was released on 2013 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Titanium has always been a metal of great interest since its discovery especially for critical applications because of its excellent mechanical properties such as light weight (almost half of that of the steel), low density (4.4 gm/cc) and high strength (almost similar to steel). It creates a stable and adherent oxide layer on its surface upon exposure to air or water which gives it a great resistance to corrosion and has made it a great choice for structures in severe corrosive environment and sea water. Its non-allergic property has made it suitable for biomedical application for manufacturing implants. Having a very high melting temperature, it has a very good potential for high temperature applications. But high production and processing cost has limited its application. Ti6Al4V is the most used titanium alloy for which it has acquired the title as `workhouse' of the Ti family. Additive layer Manufacturing (ALM) has brought revolution in manufacturing industries. Today, this additive manufacturing has developed into several methods and formed a family. This method fabricates a product by adding layer after layer as per the geometry given as input into the system. Though the conception was developed to fabricate prototypes and making tools initially, but its highly economic aspect i.e., very little waste material for less machining and comparatively lower production lead time, obviation of machine tools have drawn attention for its further development towards mass production. Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is the latest addition to ALM family developed by Arcam, AB® located in Sweden. The electron beam that is used as heat source melts metal powder to form layers. For this thesis work, three different types of specimens have been fabricated using EBM system. These specimens differ in regard of direction of layer addition. Mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength, elastic modulus and yield strength, have been measured and compared with standard data available. Besides, these values have been compared among themselves in order to understand the effect of anisotropy due to the production nature. Nano-hardness at local points on the specimens' bodies has also been tested for comparison.

Download or read book Origins of Variability in Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion of Ti6Al4V written by Sean S. Ghods and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes for metals are advancing at a rapid pace. Among manyattractive qualities, AM relaxes design constraints, enables customization and can significantly reduce material waste in comparison to subtractive manufacturing processes. However, there are some fundamental issues that must be addressed for metal AM to become prevalent in aerospace. Most critical is the reliability of the mechanical properties of the metal and an identification of contributions (i.e., the root causes) to the mechanical variability. In powder bed fusion (PBF) AM, powder reuse from previous build cycles is desired to improve process economics. However, there is limited understanding of the contributions from feedstock reuse to particle-powder-properties and part quality. The first half of this dissertation investigates this topic in electron beam melting (EBM) powder fusion AM of a titanium alloy(Ti6Al4V) over 30 cycles of build and powder reuse. Results show that nearly all aspects of the process are influenced by powder reuse. Specifically, the particle size distribution tightens with reuse, but particle damage increases, which includes surface deformation (reduction in sphericity), partial melting and/or particle fusion and fracture. While no changes in the concentration of Al, V, Fe, H and N occur, there is a significant increase in Oxygen with reuse, which exceeded the concentration limit (0.20%) in just 11 build cycles. Results showed that the strength of the metal increased with powder reuse, whereas the ductility decreased significantly, both relevant to the damage tolerance of the metal. Powder reuse covers inter-build variability but not address the intra-build variability. Establishing an understanding of the mechanical response variation within a build is also necessary for quality control in metal AM. A design of experiments approach was adopted to determine the relative effects of part location, geometry, and proximity on quasi-static and cyclic properties of the metal. Significant effects were found from the radial distance from the center of the build plate and from the thickness of the parts to the ductility and fatigue life. The highest ductility and fatigue life can be obtained from part placement near the center of the build plate and with increasing thickness. This knowledge makes a fundamental contribution and supports successful application of EBM additive manufacturing for stress-critical components in aerospace and beyond. Nevertheless, more expansive efforts are necessary to further mature the technology, such that it can be integrated into aerospace manufacturing as a reliable production process.

Download or read book Characterisation of Areal Surface Texture written by Richard Leach and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The function of a component part can be profoundly affected by its surface topography. There are many examples in nature of surfaces that have a well-controlled topography to affect their function. Examples include the hydrophobic effect of the lotus leaf, the reduction of fluid drag due to the riblet structure of shark skin, the directional adhesion of the gecko foot and the angular sensitivity of the multi-faceted fly eye. Surface structuring is also being used extensively in modern manufacturing. In this way many properties can be altered, for example optical, tribological, biological and fluidic. Previously, single line (profile) measurements were adequate to control manufacture of surfaces, but as the need to control the functionality of surfaces increases, there is a growing need for three-dimensional (areal) measurement and characterisation techniques. For this reason there has been considerable research, development and standardisation of areal techniques. This book will present the areal framework that is being adopted by the international community. Whereas previous books have concentrated on the measurement aspects, this book concentrates on the characterisation techniques, i.e. how to interpret the measurement data to give the appropriate (functional) information for a given task. The first part of the book presents the characterisation methods and the second part case studies that highlight the use of areal methods in a broad range of subject areas - from automobile manufacture to archaeology.

Download or read book Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys written by Bhaskar Dutta and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 96 pages. 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)

Download or read book Effect of Process Variables on Sub melt Thermal Behavior and Solid state Phase Transformations in Beam based Additive Manufacturing of Ti 6Al 4v written by Heather N. Doak and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of laser and electron beam-based fabrication processes for additive manufacture and repair applications requires the ability to control melt pool geometry while maintaining a consistent and desirable microstructure. Previous work has employed a process map approach to link melt pool geometry to solidification microstructure (grain-size and morphology) in beam-based fabrication of Ti-6Al-4V. The current work extends the approach to investigate the effects of process variables on solid-state phase transformations below the solidification temperature through Finite Element Modeling, the 3-D Rosenthal Solution, and experimentation. Process maps for solid-state microstructure could be used to help maintain consistent and reliable mechanical properties during deposition of complex features. The characterization of seventeen Ti-6Al-4V samples was completed through Electron Backscatter Diffraction, X-ray Diffraction, Vickers Hardness tests. The solid-state transformation of Ti-6Al-4V was investigated to find trends in beta grain size, alpha lath thickness, and types of alpha microstructures. Thermal conditions and melt pool areas were verified with Finite Element Analysis and the fitted Rosenthal solution. Results suggest the solid-state alpha morphology is uniform because of constant melt pool area, constant grain area, and constant Vickers Hardness tests.

Download or read book Progress in Metal Additive Manufacturing and Metallurgy written by Robert Pederson and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of additive manufacturing (AM) processes applied to the fabrication of structural components creates the need for design methodologies supporting structural optimization approaches that take into account the specific characteristics of the process. While AM processes enable unprecedented geometrical design freedom, which can result in significant reductions of component weight, on the other hand they have implications in the fatigue and fracture strength due to residual stresses and microstructural features. This is linked to stress concentration effects and anisotropy that still warrant further research. This Special Issue of Applied Sciences brings together papers investigating the features of AM processes relevant to the mechanical behavior of AM structural components, particularly, but not exclusively, from the viewpoints of fatigue and fracture behavior. Although the focus of the issue is on AM problems related to fatigue and fracture, articles dealing with other manufacturing processes with related problems are also be included.
