Abstract:
Rapid cooling rates and stochastic interactions between the heat source and feedstock in additive manufacturing (AM) result in strong anisotropy and process-induced defects deteriorating the tensile ductility and fatigue resistance of printed parts. We show that by deliberately introducing a high density of lack of fusion (LoF) defects, a processing regime that has been avoided so far, followed by hot isostatic pressing (HIP), we can print Ti-6Al-4V with reduced texture and combinations of strength and ductility.
