- Abstract
The mechanisms of microstructure transformation and mechanical anisotropy of laser-MIG hybrid additive manufacturing TC11 titanium alloy after solution aging treatment are investigated. In this paper, different solution temperatures and cooling modes are applied to tailor the microstructure and improve high-temperature properties and anisotropy. The result shows the microstructure of the samples in the as-deposited state is dominated by a widmanstatten structure composed of lamellar α clusters. Following solution aging treatment, a large area of basket-weave structure is obtained in the samples. A major influence of spheroidization of lamellar α clusters and dynamic recrystallization on mechanical anisotropy is revealed. The heat-treated samples exhibit more superior combined strength, elongation, impact toughness. The hardness difference between the layers and mechanical anisotropy decreases. During high-temperature tensile tests, the tensile strength increases with rising solution temperature; while, the elongation shows the opposite trend. The tensile fracture exhibits abundant uniform equiaxed dimples, and the fracture mode changes from intergranular fracture to transgranular fracture. Solution treatment at 990 °C for 2 h followed by air cooling is considered to be the optimal heat treatment process. Consequently, it results in a high tensile strength of 811 MPa and an excellent impact toughness of 50 J, representing improvements of 16.08% and 71.08%.
