Abstract

Our research aims to investigate the fabrication of additively manufactured (AMed) Ti-6Al-4V samples under reduced power with the addition of TiC heterogeneous nucleation site particles. For this aim, Ti-6Al-4V samples are fabricated with and without TiC heterogeneous nucleation site particles using an EOS M 290 machine under optimal parameters and reduced power conditions. The microstructure and tensile behavior of the produced samples were studied. In addition, a single-track test was performed to obtain a good understanding of the suppression of gas pores and balling formation with the addition of TiC heterogeneous nucleation site particles. It was found that the formation of gas pores and balling was suppressed with the addition of heterogeneous nucleation site particles within the metallic powder.
