Abstract
Making laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing process sustainable requires effective powder recycling. Recycling of Ti6Al4V powder in L-PBF can lead to powder oxidation, however, such impact on laser-matter interactions, process, and defect dynamics during L-PBF are not well understood. This study reveals and quantifies the effects of processing Ti6Al4V powders with low (0.12 wt%) and high (0.40 wt%) oxygen content during multilayer thin-wall L-PBF using in situ high speed synchrotron X-ray imaging. Our results reveal that high oxygen content Ti6Al4V powder can reduce melt ejections, surface roughness, and defect population in the built parts. With increasing oxygen content in the part, there is an increase in microhardness due to solid solution strengthening and no significant change in the microstructure is evident.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture is dedicated to advancing scientific comprehension of the fundamental mechanics involved in processes and machines utilized in the manufacturing of engineering components. While the primary focus is on metals, the journal also explores applications in composites, ceramics, and other structural or functional materials. The coverage includes a diverse range of topics:
- Essential mechanics of processes involving material removal, accretion, and deformation, encompassing solid, semi-solid, or particulate forms.
- Significant scientific advancements in existing or new processes and machines.
- In-depth characterization of workpiece materials (structure/surfaces) through advanced techniques (e.g., SEM, EDS, TEM, EBSD, AES, Raman spectroscopy) to unveil new phenomenological aspects governing manufacturing processes.
- Tool design, utilization, and comprehensive studies of failure mechanisms.
- Innovative concepts of machine tools, fixtures, and tool holders supported by modeling and demonstrations relevant to manufacturing processes within the journal's scope.
- Novel scientific contributions exploring interactions between the machine tool, control system, software design, and processes.
- Studies elucidating specific mechanisms governing niche processes (e.g., ultra-high precision, nano/atomic level manufacturing with either mechanical or non-mechanical "tools").
- Innovative approaches, underpinned by thorough scientific analysis, addressing emerging or breakthrough processes (e.g., bio-inspired manufacturing) and/or applications (e.g., ultra-high precision optics).
