An Excellent Candidate Material That can Replace Ti6Al4V-Aerospace Structural Applications and Additive Manufacturing Processes

(An Excellent Candidate Material That can Replace Ti6Al4V-Aerospace Structural Applications and Additive Manufacturing Processes)

Titanium alloy is one of the most commonly used materials for additive
manufacturing. Whether for aerospace or medical, people are committed to
promoting the application of this technology. Relatively speaking, the absolute
majority of research has focused on the evolution of the structure and
mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V during additive manufacturing and heat
treatment. However, from a metallurgical point of view, Ti6Al4V will inevitably
form needle-shaped α'martensite (leading to high strength and poor plasticity)
which is unfavorable to the overall performance during cooling, and the
adjustable range of the heat treatment process is limited.

In order to maintain sufficient plasticity, 500°C-550°C may provide a more
suitable balance of mechanical properties for the alloy. In the heat treatment
process of additively manufactured parts, precise control of the size and
distribution of precipitates is the key to obtaining comprehensive mechanical
properties. Compared with Ti64, the metastable beta titanium alloy has a phase
composition that is easier to control, which provides a wider choice for heat
treatment optimization.

In contrast, metastable β titanium alloys usually do not form α'martensite
during the cooling process of additive manufacturing, and have more heat
treatment options than Ti6Al4V, and have broader application prospects for
additive manufacturing. Such materials have long been used in aerospace
applications with high strength requirements, such as Boeing 787 landing gear
and helicopter rotors. Under solid solution conditions, metastable beta titanium
alloys are easier to control the phase composition than Ti6Al4V, which can not
only achieve high strength, but also achieve higher plasticity. Although the
price is more expensive than Ti6Al4V, it is indeed an excellent candidate
material for structural applications and additive manufacturing processes.
