Abstract

Optical metallography and electron metallography (SEM and TEM) techniques are applied to the characterization of additive-layer manufactured products and prototypes by electron beam melting (EBM) of Ti-6Al-4V atomized precursor powder. In addition, microstructure-property comparisons are made by hardness and tensile test measurements which demonstrate prospects for controlled property-performance variations by varying process parameters including temperature profiles and cooling rates in manufactured prototypes.

Kurzfassung

Verfahren wie optische Metallographie und Elektronenmetallographie (REM und TEM) werden für die Charakterisierung von Halbzeugen mit Additivschichten und Prototypen durch Elektronenstrahlschmelzen (EBM) aus verdüstem Ti-6Al-4V-Ausgangspulver angewendet. Zusätzlich wurden Vergleiche der Gefügeeigenschaften durch Härte- und Dehnungsmessungen durchgeführt, die Aussichten für kontrollierte Varianten des Eigenschafts-Nutzeffekts durch Veränderung von Prozessparametern einschließlich Temperaturprofilen und Kühlraten in den hergestellten Prototypen zeigen.


a Lawrence E. Murr,

Lawrence E. Murr is Murchison Professor and Chairman of the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). He holds a Ph.D. degree in solid state science from Penn State. His research interests include materials characterization, shock and high-strain-rate deformation studies, advanced materials and processes — including layered manufacturing, and atmospheric nano-particulate studies.

Sara M. Gaytan is a Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso where she is pursuing a Master of Science degree. Her research interests include a wide range of materials characterization, including advanced layered manufacturing technologies which is the subject of her master's thesis. She holds a B.S. degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from UTEP.
