Abstract
To investigate the effects of ultrasonic vibration (UV) on mechanical properties and microstructure evolution of Ti-6Al-4V alloy manufactured by laser direct energy deposition, a series of experiments have been carried out by the INSTRON testing machine, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results demonstrate that UV significantly enhances the plasticity of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, with an increase in elongation by 87.4 % and tensile strength by 4.04 %. And the phenomenon of HCP-FCC phase transformation of Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been found during additive manufacturing under the UV. The formation of FCC nano-twinned phase contributes to the enhancement of the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy to some extent.
