| dc.description.abstract | The response of direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) produced Ti6Al4V (ELI) to impact was investigated using an instrumented Charpy impact test machine and V-notch specimens. Impact toughness testing was conducted over the temperature range of -130oC to 250oC. The effect of the orientation of the V-notch, with reference to the base plate, was investigated. The results indicated that the samples that were produced with the V-notch facing the base plate (LO) had better values of impact toughness than those that were produced with the V-notch facing away from the base plate (UP) over most of the test temperatures. The study further established that as-built DMLS Ti6Al4V (ELI) retains appreciable notch toughness, even at extremely low temperatures. | en_US |
