Studying of Microstructure and Properties of Selective Laser Melted Titanium-Based Alloy

What is it about?

The article presents the results of selective laser melting of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. It was studied phase composition and microstructure of the initial powder material, the specimens manufactured by Selective Laser Melting and also the specimens after heat treatment. The effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of the specimens was shown. It was studied the mechanical behavior of the manufactured specimens before and after heat treatment at room and elevated temperatures as well. After heat treatment tests showed that the specimens have decent mechanical properties both at room and elevated temperatures.
