Laser powder bed fusion of Ti-6Ta-1.5Zr-0.2Ru-5Cu (mass%) – process parameter evaluation using single tracks analysis

Printing of single tracks from atomised powder was carried out to determine the potential parameters for Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Ti- 6Ta-1.5Zr-0.2Ru-5Cu (mass%). Parameters that were varied included laser power, scanning speed, beam diameter, linear and planar energy density. The single tracks we...

description Printing of single tracks from atomised powder was carried out to determine the potential parameters for Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Ti- 6Ta-1.5Zr-0.2Ru-5Cu (mass%). Parameters that were varied included laser power, scanning speed, beam diameter, linear and planar energy density. The single tracks were characterised by SEM and SEM-EDX, showing variations in microstructural homogeneity. Promising tracks were produced using laser power of 157.5 W, scanning speed of 600 mm/s, beam diameter of 0.15 mm, 0.263 J/mm linear energy and 1.750 J/mm2 planar energy density. XRD for one of these tracks indicated (αTi) and (βTi) solid solutions as well as the Ti2Cu phase.
