- Abstract
The study investigated the use of electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) to fabricate niobium ATI C103™ alloy articles for microstructural characterization and mechanical testing. The feedstock powder was consolidated into low-porosity articles, and both powder and sample chemistry were monitored. Oxygen uptake in the powder was limited to less than the ASTM B655/B655M (2018) specification limits for 7 uses. Manipulating vacuum chamber pressure showed stable hafnium content but decreasing titanium content with decreasing chamber pressure attributed to evaporation. AM samples were evaluated in the post-processed, as-fabricated, annealed, and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) condition with a maximum yield strength of 287 MPa, UTS of 375 MPa for the HIP, and maximum elongation of 32 pct for the annealed specimens, respectively. Mechanical properties are similar to typical wrought products, with a notable increase in yield strength after post-processing by HIP. The fracture behavior was driven by porosity in the as-fabricated specimens and grain boundary fracture after HIP.
