Ti-6Al-4V is a popular alloy due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Many applications of additively manufactured using selective laser melting (SLM) have reached technology readiness. However, issues linked with metallurgical differences in parts by conventional processes SLM persist. Very few studies focused on relating the process parameters macroscopic microscopic properties different size features. Therefore, aim this study was investigate effect...
Together, advanced technologies and metallic materials rapidly progress in the field of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) additive manufacturing (AM). Although PBF-LB drastically shortens design-to-manufacture time, post-processing operations on metal parts, including heat-treatments, are often labour intensive time-consuming. Therefore, we assess feasibility conductingin-situ heat-treatments during AlSi10Mg parts. A build plate heated at set temperatures up to 500 °C was employed while...
Laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) of AlSi10Mg has attained technology maturity in various industries. Nevertheless, the manufactured components often require thermal treatments to tailor their microstructures and mechanical properties. Experimental development suitable cycles for printed parts is time energy intensive. However, characteristic microstructure produced by PBF-LB resembles that gas-atomised powder. Therefore, this study presents an in-depth investigation on correlation...
Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing has reached wide-scale technology readiness for various sectors. However, some challenges posed by the complex nature of process persist. Limited studies investigated correlation between micro- and macroscopic properties L-PBF AlSi10Mg parts features’ sizes with build orientation in mind. Therefore, this study presents a comprehensive view on “size effect” samples larger than those available literature (up to 12 mm) defects,...
