RECERCAT author Barriobero Vila, Pere author Gussone, Joachim author Stark, A author Schell, N. author Haubrich, Jan author Requena, Guillermo 2018-08-24 Metal-based additive manufacturing (AM) permits layer-by-layer fabrication of near net-shaped metallic components with complex geometries not achievable using the design constraints of traditional manufacturing. Production savings of titanium-based components by AM are estimated up to 50% owing to the current exorbitant loss of material during machining. Nowadays, most of the titanium alloys for AM are based on conventional compositions still tailored to conventional manufacturing not considering the directional thermal gradient that provokes epitaxial growth during AM. This results in severely textured microstructures associated with anisotropic structural properties usually remaining upon post-AM processing. The present investigations reveal a promising solidification and cooling path for a formation not yet exploited, in which a does not inherit the usual crystallographic orientation relationship with the parent ß phase. The associated decrease in anisotropy, accompanied by the formation of equiaxed microstructures represents a step forward toward a next generation of titanium alloys for AM.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Open Access Attribution 4.0 International Àrees temàtiques de la UPC::Enginyeria dels materials Metals Alloys Mechanical properties Metals and alloys Phase transitions and critical phenomena Metalls Aliatges Peritectic titanium alloys for 3D printing Article
