Abstract
The microstructural evolution and crystallographic texture formation of beta-solidifying Ti-44Al-6Nb-1.2Cr alloy were identified under single- and multi-track exposures via laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) for various process parameters. Under single-track exposure, the microstructure of the melt pool was divided into the band-like alpha(2) phase in the melt pool boundary and beta phase in the melt pool center. Numerical and thermodynamic simulations revealed that the underlying mechanism of phase separation was related to the variation in the cooling rate in the melt pool, whereas microsegregation induced a shift in the solidification path. Meanwhile, the crystallographic texture of the alpha(2) phase region was identical to that of the substrate owing to the epitaxial growth of the beta phase and subsequent alpha phase nucleation. In contrast, the beta phase exhibited a +/- 45(degrees) inclined <100> alignment in the melt pool, which was tilted to align along the build direction toward the center of the melt pool corresponding to the simulated thermal gradient direction. Furthermore, the narrow hatch space condition maintained the crystallographic texture to the subsequent scan, forming a continuous band-like alpha(2) phase with a strong selection. However, the crystallographic texture in a wide hatch space condition manifested a random distribution and constituted a fine mixture of the beta and alpha(2) phases. For the first time, these results will offer an understanding of an anisotropic microstructure control via the L-PBF process and ensure the tailoring of the mechanical properties in the beta-solidifying gamma-TiAl-based alloys by approaching hatch spacing control.
