摘要

The current work focuses on phase transformation pathways and the correlation between microstructure and mechanical properties of heat-treated direct metal laser sintered additively manufactured Ti6Al4V alloy. As-printed sample consists of acicular α′ with heterogeneously distributed nano β particles. However, after heat treatment, heterogeneity of the β phase was reduced and morphology of the β phase was modified to rod shape. Mechanical properties are influenced by α/α′ lath size and extent of decomposition of acicular α′ → α + β. Moreover, high fraction of β phase and presence of both particle and rod shape β counteracts the effect of larger α′/α lath thickness on decreasing ductility. The best combination of tensile strength (1193 ± 5 MPa) and ductility (17.1 ± 0.45 pct) was achieved through the phase transformation pathway; (α′ + non-uniformly distributed nano β particles) → (β + primary α) → (primary α +  α′ + few nano β particles) → (primary α + α/α′ + uniformly distributed nano β particles).
