Simultaneously enhancing strength and ductility of LPBF Ti alloy via trace Y2 O3 nanoparticle addition

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2024.01.011

Abstract

Abstract: Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a popular additive manufacturing (AM) technique to fabricate metal components. LPBF Ti alloys often exhibit high strength but poor ductility. In this study, we report that trace Y₂ O₃ nanoparticles added to a pre-alloyed Ti-4Al-4V (Ti44) powder provides an excellent feedstock for LPBF. As-built Ti44-Y₂ O₃ materials exhibited a strength-ductility combination that is slightly better than heat-treated LPBF Ti64. Some Y₂ O₃ particles may have melted or decomposed during LPBF. From electron microscopy, the addition of Y₂ O₃ refined α’ martensite laths and weakened variant preference during β→ α’ transformation. Based on in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and elastic-viscoplastic self-consistent (EVPSC) modeling, ‹c+a› slip was more active in as-built Ti44-Y₂ O₃ than in as-built Ti64 or Ti44. This work demonstrates that LPBF can be an excellent method to fabricate metal-nanoparticle composite materials.

Key words: Titanium alloys, Additive manufacturing, Nanoparticles, Ductility, Synchrotron diffraction
