Effect of Laser Rescanning on the Characteristics and Residual Stress of Selective Laser Melted Titanium Ti6Al4V Alloy

The titanium Ti6Al4V alloy has excellent properties, and is one of the most important and widely used metal materials in the field of modern high-tech. Selective laser melting (SLM) is an ideal process for the rapid prototyping of Ti6Al4V alloy components with complex structures, but the performance...

description The titanium Ti6Al4V alloy has excellent properties, and is one of the most important and widely used metal materials in the field of modern high-tech. Selective laser melting (SLM) is an ideal process for the rapid prototyping of Ti6Al4V alloy components with complex structures, but the performances need to be further improved. In this paper, the relative density, hardness, and microstructure under different scanning conditions were first analyzed in order to clarify the role of rescanning process in improving the performances. Then, the effects of different scanning strategies on the residual stress were analyzed. The results show that the strategy of partition rescanning has the most significant effect on residual stress. Finally, the SLM experiments of aviation nozzle rings were carried out. The results show that the average residual stress of the Re-SLMed sample was reduced from 322 MPa to 254 MPa.
