Impact of powder reusability on batch repeatability of Ti6Al4V ELI for PBF-LB industrial production
ABSTRACT In powder bed fusion laser beam (PBF-LB), powder reusability remains key to keeping cost-effectivity as well as sustainability. In this study, highly sensitive Ti6Al4V ELI powder typically used for medical and aerospace applications is studied. Powder properties of new and reused powders after 10 build cycles subjected to variations such as morphology, particle size distribution (PSD), chemical composition and flowability were analysed. The flow rate using Carney flowmeter increased from 6.8 s to 12 s. Oxygen content slightly increased from 0.11% to 0.12%. The dimensional deviations are measured in six builds of eight samples spread through the build plate. The density of the cubes does not show relevant differences in density (from 99.6% to 99.9%), only the last batch exhibits slightly lower density than the previous builds. Studied properties for the powder and builds are maintained throughout the experiment, demonstrating repeatability of industrial production of metal parts.
