CONTRIBUTION TO A DATABASE OF TI-6AL-4V COMPONENTS MANUFACTURED WITH SELECTIVE LASER MELTING PROCESS

摘要

In summary, the components manufactured additively through SLM proved to have characteristics similar to conventionally manufactured parts in high temperatures. Especially when testing the material properties with temperatures higher than 300 °C. This assumption is not only supported by a quantitative analysis of the material properties, but also by characterizing the microstructure of the SLM samples. Moreover, a database is constituted, which can help to design and plan components built using SLM through extensive simulations. Future works, should study the different possibilities of constructing the tensile test samples. Moreover, studies could focus on other types of super alloys such as Inconel 718, which is often employed in the same context as Ti-6Al-4V.
