| dc.description.abstract | The stability of microstructure at high temperatures is necessary for many applications. This paper
presents investigations on the effect of changes in temperature on the microstructures of additively manufactured
Ti6Al4V(ELI) alloy, as a prelude to high temperature fatigue testing of the material. In the present study, a Direct
Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) EOSINT M290 was used to additively manufacture test samples. Produced samples
were stress relieved and half of these were then annealed at high temperatures. The samples were then heated from
room temperature to various temperatures, held there for three hours and thereafter, cooled slowly in the air to room
temperature. During tensile testing, the specimens was heated up to the intended test temperature and held there for
30 minutes, and then tensile loads applied to the specimens till fracture. Metallographic samples were then prepared
for examination of their microstructures both at the fracture surfaces and away from them. The obtained results
showed that changes in temperature do have effects on the microstructure and mechanical properties of
Ti6Al4V(ELI) alloy. It is concluded in the paper that changes in temperature will affect the fatigue properties of the
alloy. | en_US |
