摘要：

The effect of cooling rate on microstructural morphology and mechanical properties of laser welded thin sheet Ti6Al4V alloy is studied. The numerical investigation has been performed to predict the weld pool geometry at different heat input by pulse Nd:YAG laser. The cooling rate is estimated from simulated time-temperature history. The solidified structure is complex and may acquire various microstructural transformations with different morphology of mainly α and β phases depending upon the particular cooling rate followed. Diffusional, α'-martensitic and mixed structures are found in the welded joint. Massive diffusion-controlled α lamellae has found in the range of 52-325 K/s. Volume fraction of α'-martensitic phase in the fusion zone increases with cooling rate. It shows that the dimensional variation of α lamellae plays an important role on mechanical properties. Substantial improvement of the mechanical properties with increase in cooling rate is characterized by the volume fraction of primary α-phase and the α + β lamellae spacing.
