Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology which enables the rapid fabrication of complex shaped parts directly from computer aided design (CAD) model providing reduction in process time, scrap and cost without the need of expensive tools. Ti-6Al-4V is the most widely used alloy in biomedical industry due to its unique example of biocompatibility along with its great corrosion resistance and superior specific strength with respect to other metals. Recently, because of attractive properties of Ti6Al-4V alloy, additive manufacturing industry is focused on manufacturing fully dense components with changing process parameters such as scanning speed, laser power and scanning pattern. However, highly localized heat inputs during very short interaction times and large thermal gradients give rise to some problems such as segregation and the development of non-equilibrium Į’ phase. The deficiency in achieving homogenously distributed microstructure consisting of Į + ȕ grains along with the presence of fine, acicular Į’ martensite grains after the AM of Ti-6Al-4V is undesirable. Therefore, post-processes like hot isostatic pressing (HIP) are required to follow AM to eliminate nonequilibrium phases and to enhance the ductility. In this study, alternatively a thermochemical process (TCP) involving the introduction of hydrogen into SLM fabricated Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated. The alternative post-processing includes following treatments; hydrogenation, ȕ solutionizing, eutectoid decomposition and elevated temperature vacuum dehydrogenation. It was found that after all thermohydrogen processes a very fine and equiaxed Į + ȕ microstructure without the presence of any residual hydrogen was obtained. Consequently, acicular Į’ martensite grain containing microstructure resulting from AM was transformed into fine Į+ȕ microstructure.

The Effect of Thermohydrogen Process on the Mechanical Properties of the Ti-6Al-4V Alloy Produced by Selective Laser Melting
Bilgin, Guney Mert; Esen, Ziya; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (2018-10-27)
Selective laser melting (SLM) is a powder bed fusion type additive manufacturing (AM) process that allows fabrication of complex and detailed components from computer aided design (CAD) model in one single step without the need of costly tools.Ti-6Al-4V alloy is widely used in the applications where high specific strength is required particularly in aero engine discs, frames and compressors.Production of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy with a conventional methodis inadequate in manufacturing complex shaped parts used e...
Optimization of the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy produced by three dimensional additive manufacturing using termochemical processes
Bilgin, Güney Mert; Durucan, Caner; Esen, Ziya; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017)
Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology used for aerospace and biomedical Ti-6Al-4V alloys to produce parts with complex geometry at one step with reduced production time, scrap and cost. However, parts produced by SLM are lack of ductility due to microstructures similar to those cast products and residual stresses generated during laser processing. In this study, Ti6Al-4V alloys produced by SLM were treated by thermo-hydrogen process (THP) to increase ductility and to ref...
Manufacturing of Functionally Graded Porous Products by Selective Laser Sintering
Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve; Dağ, Serkan (2008-09-25)
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a rapid prototyping technique which is used to manufacture plastic and metal models. The porosity of the final product obtained by SLS can be controlled by changing the energy density level used during the manufacturing process. The energy density level is itself dependent upon manufacturing parameters such as laser power, hatching distance and scanning speed. Through mechanical characterization techniques, it is possible to quantitatively relate the energy density levels ...
Micromechanical Characterization of Additively Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V Parts Produced by Electron Beam Melting
Özerinç, Sezer; KAŞ, MUSTAFA; Motallebzadeh, Amir; Nesli, Safak; Duygulu, Ozgur; YILMAZ, OĞUZHAN (2021-08-01)
Ti-6Al-4V is one of the most promising alloys for electron beam melting (EBM) of structural parts due to its outstanding properties and its extensive use in the aerospace, automotive, and energy industries. In this study, we report a detailed and systematic micromechanical characterization of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V parts produced via EBM. The specimens were characterized by microhardness, nanoindentation, micropillar compression, and microscratch measurements. The results show that the Ti-6Al-4V ...
Micromechanical modelling and two scale simulation of epoxy glass composites with interphases and interfaces
Fleischhauer, Robert; Dal, Hüsnü; Kaliske, Michael (2010-03-26)
Composite systems consisting of glass fibres and epoxy matrix with interphases and interfaces will be considered in the modelling approach. The interphase forms the transition zone between the epoxy matrix and the glass fibre. The interface is the layer between the glass fibre and the surrounding interphase. The macroscopic strength of the composite material is intrinsically related to the bond strength of the polymeric/solid interface and the micromechanical characteristics of the three phases (epoxy, glas...
