摘要
To overcome the disadvantages of inhomogeneous microstructures and poor mechanical properties of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloys,a novel technique of hybrid deposition and synchronous micro-rolling is proposed.The micro-rolling leads to equiaxed prior β grains,thin discontinuous intergranular α,and equiaxed primary α,in contrast to the coarse columnar prior β grains without the application of micro-rolling.The recrystallization by micro-rolling results in discontinuous intergranular α via the mechanism of strain and interface-induced grain boundary migration.The evolution of α globularization,driven by a solute concentration gradient,starts from the sub-boundary until the formation of equiaxed primary α.Simultaneous strengthening and toughening are achieved,which means an increase in yield strength,ultimate tensile strength,fracture elongation,and work hardening rate.The formation of α recrystallization leads to more fine grain boundaries to strengthen the yield strength,and the improvement of ductility is due to the better-coordinated deformation ability of discontinuous intergranular α and equiaxed primary α.As a result,the fracture mode in micro-rolling changes from intergranular type to transgranular type.
