Abstract

This study investigates microstructure and tensile performance of Ti-1Al-8V-5Fe (Ti-185), a high-strength and cost-effective β-titanium (β-Ti) alloy, fabricated using two techniques: laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and laser directed energy deposition (LDED). The results demonstrate superior capability of LPBF in producing Ti-185 with a refined microstructure, due to ultra-high cooling rates (∼10⁶ K/s). This process inhibits the formation of brittle ω phase, achieving an impressive tensile strength of approximately 1100 MPa and ductility around 9 %. Conversely, LDED's lower cooling rates (∼10² K/s) result in coarser grains and significant ω phase precipitation, leading to reduced ductility and brittle fracture behavior. This work provides a systematic comparison of LPBF and LDED Ti-185, addressing key challenges such as Fe micro-segregation and brittle phase formation. These findings highlight LPBF's potential for optimizing the balance of strength and ductility in Ti-185 alloy, offering valuable insights into processing strategies for advanced β-Ti alloys in industrial applications.

期刊介绍： Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences. A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below. The scope of the journal includes: 1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes). 2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis. 3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification. 4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
