摘要
Intermetallic, gamma-TiAl, equiaxed, strian-grain (similar to 2 mu m) structures with lamellar gamma/alpha(2)-Ti3Al colonies with average spacing of 0.6 mu m have been fabricated by additive manufacturing using electron beam melting (EBM) of precursor, atomized powder. The residual microindentation (Vickers) hardness (HV) averaged 4.1 GPa, corresponding to a nominal yield strength of similar to 1.4 GPa (similar to HV/3), and a specific yield strength of 0.37 GPa cm(3) g(-1) (for a density of 3.76 g cm(-3)), in contrast to 0.27 GPa cm(3) g(-1) for EBM-fabricated Ti-6Al-4V components. These results demonstrate the potential to fabricate near net shape and complex titanium aluminide products directly using EBM technology in important aerospace and automotive applications.
