What does a majority of 3D printed Ti64 alloys have?

A

poor ductility

35
Q

where are the studies of corrosion resistance and biocompatibility at?

36
Q

what limits aerospace applications for 3d printed Ti64 alloys?

A

elevated temperature properties (creep) and fatigue properties

37
Q

What is BCC?

A

body centered cubic

38
Q

What is FCC?

A

face centered cubic

39
Q

What is HCP?

A

hexagonal close packing

40
Q

What is unique about titanium phases?

A

multiple phases unlike steels

41
Q

How does beta Ti compare with alpha Ti?

A

more ductile (alpha-Ti is brittle)

42
Q

What are the properties of alpha + beta Ti?

A

mix of ductile and brittle

43
Q

How does Ti do in low temperatures?

A

very good tensile strength

44
Q

How does Ti compare in weight?

A

very light

45
Q

What does ELI mean?

A

extra low interstitials (low oxygen levels)

46
Q

What happens when you add too much Al?

A

creates brittle Ti3Al

47
Q

Why do you want the beta transition temperature as low as possible?

A

avoid brittle material when cooling

48
Q

What are the gamma and omega phases?

A

too brittle, shatter

49
Q

What does alpha-stabilizing and beta-stabilizing mean?

A

the more of these elements you add, the more alpha/beta there is

50
Q

What happens if you add too much beta-stabilizing elements?

A

heavier, lose corrosion resistance

51
Q

what is the downside to beta Ti Alloys?

A

not as ductile as alpha + beta

52
Q

What happens to the shear strength from beta to alpha?

A

introduces tan(10.6 degrees) = .187 shear strength (18.7%)

53
Q

Which structures have the best close packing?

A

FCC and HCP

54
Q

What shape has the best diffusivity?

55
Q

What the cooling rates for the three quenching processes from highest to lowest?

A

water quench, air cooled, furnace cooled

56
Q

What is the typical L-PBF cooling rate?

57
Q

Why does iron get into the L-PBF build?

A

chamber is made of iron

58
Q

Why is beta identified as pre-beta?

A

it used to be beta but now is alpha’

59
Q

Where are impurities Fe and V located?

A

beta lines

60
Q

higher energy input means what for V?

A

higher quenching rate, less time for V to diffuse

61
Q

What does heat treatment do to V?

A

helps break it up

62
Q

What happens to Ti when repeated heating and cooling?

A

twinning and dislocations

63
Q

How does L-PBF/SLM compare to EBM in properties?

A

more alpha than beta, higher cooling rate, more yield strength, less ductility

64
Q

What happens if you use an insufficient energy input on Ti?

A

reduce fatigue cycle

65
Q

What are the optimal temperatures for annealing Ti5553?

A

300 and 800C
