Fused tracks and layers of Ti10Mo6Cu data obtained via laser powder bed fusion.

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has opened the window of in-situ alloying elemental powders for specific engineering and biomedical applications. However, since the LPBF process is non-linear, and the current numerical models are still at the experimental stage it is obligatory to determine the optimum process parameters for each powder composition. The current experimental data described the effects of laser powers and scanning speeds on fused tracks and layers produced using Ti10Mo6Cu powder blend.

Additive Manufacturing of Ti-Based Intermetallic Alloys: A Review and Conceptualization of a Next-Generation Machine.

TiAl-based intermetallic alloys have come to the fore as the preferred alloys for high-temperature applications. Conventional methods (casting, forging, sheet forming, extrusion, etc.) have been applied to produce TiAl intermetallic alloys.

Standard method for microCT-based additive manufacturing quality control 4: Metal powder analysis.

X-ray micro computed tomography (microCT) can be applied to analyse powder feedstock used in additive manufacturing. In this paper, we demonstrate a dedicated workflow for this analysis method, specifically for Ti6Al4V powder typically used in commercial powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) systems. The methodology presented includes sample size requirements, scan conditions and settings, reconstruction and image analysis procedures.
