Abstract:
The addition of alloying elements during additive manufacturing increases the strength but always sacrifices ductility. Therefore, simultaneously enhancing strength and ductility is still the focus today. In this study, Cu was selected as the alloying element, and the optimal Cu addition (1.2 wt%) was re-alloyed and predicted using Thermo-Calc software combined with a single-bead deposition experiment, followed by alloying into feeding wire. Ti-6Al-4V-1.2Cu was compared with commercial Ti-6Al-4V deposits, and it was found that both microstructures consisted of prior beta, GB alpha, and basketweave structures containing alpha+beta lamellae. The introduction of Cu realized the refinement of prior beta grains (836 +/- 12 mu m -> 592 +/- 8 mu m), the refinement of alpha laths (2.56 +/- 0.06 mu m -> 1.91 +/- 0.04 mu m), the coarsening of beta laths (0.03 +/- 0.005 mu m -> 0.2 +/- 0.03 mu m), and the refinement of GB alpha (0.9 +/- 0.07 mu m -> 0.45 +/- 0.04 mu m). As a beta stabilizer, Cu increased the residual beta content in the final microstructure (8.89%-> 18.67%). No formation of brittle Ti2Cu means that only grain refinement strengthening and solid-solution strengthening matter. The yield strength increased from 868.23 MPa to 934.32 MPa (7.61% increase). Among them, the contribution ratio of grain refinement strengthening and solid solution strengthening was the same through quantitative analysis. The ultimate tensile strength increased from 934.97 MPa to 990.97 MPa (6% increase). At the same time, tensile fracture elongation increased from 6.35% to 10.66% (67.87% increase), while the fracture mode transits from brittle cleavage to ductile dimples. Grain refinement of prior beta grains, alpha laths, and GB alpha, inhibition of the beta ->alpha ' martensitic transformation, and local misorientation change of alpha laths are the main factors in improved ductility. In addition, the UTS and EL results are compared with earlier studies to reveal the prospect of this research.
