Achieving grain refinement and ultrahigh yield strength in laser aided additive manufacturing of Ti−6Al−4V alloy by trace Ni addition

Fabricating fine equiaxed grains without undesirable secondary phases is highly challenging for additively manufactured Ti−6Al−4V alloy. The reference amount of Ni addition, which can achieve grain refinement without secondary phase formation, is 0.9 wt. % based on Thermo-Calc calculation. The Ti−6A...
