3D Printing Using Ti-Al Nanopowders: Mechanisms of Structure Formation

In the presented research work, 3D materials were fabricated by additive moulding by means of extrusion of a mixture of high filled polymers and nanopowders of Ti-Al intermetallides with subsequent sintering at 1100 ± 20 °C, 1200 ± 20 °C and 1250 ± 20 °C (MEAM-HP process). Nanopowders of Ti-Al inter...

description In the presented research work, 3D materials were fabricated by additive moulding by means of extrusion of a mixture of high filled polymers and nanopowders of Ti-Al intermetallides with subsequent sintering at 1100 ± 20 °C, 1200 ± 20 °C and 1250 ± 20 °C (MEAM-HP process). Nanopowders of Ti-Al intermetallides were obtained by the electrical explosion of intertwined aluminium and titanium wires. It was found that the structure of the materials comprises an AlTi matrix with Ti<sub>2</sub>AlN MAX-phase particles distributed within it, surrounded by a composite layer of Ti<sub>3</sub>Al-Ti<sub>2</sub>AlN. Sintering temperature increases led to changes in the concentration of TiAl, Ti<sub>3</sub>Al and Ti<sub>2</sub>AlN phases in the samples. Besides that, aluminium oxide particles were discovered in the structure of the materials. It was found that as the sintering temperature was increased from 1100 ± 20 °C to 1250 ± 20 °C, the average microhardness of the samples increased from 193 to 690 HV<sub>0.1</sub>.
