Optimization of the laser powder bed fusion processing and post processing of plasma-atomized Ti64 powders
FY 2018-19
Summary
The project is focused on the optimization of laser powder bed metal fusion processing and post-processing of*highly-spherical plasma-atomized titanium alloy (Ti64) powders. More specifically, the powder spreading and*printing parameters will be optimized to significantly improve the process productivity. This productivity*increase will be obtained without affecting the mechanical and geometrical characteristics of the printed*product. (Our focus on productivity is justified by the fact that this aspect represents one of the main limitations*of the LPBF technology.)*The deliverables of the project are: a) the optimized parameters of laser powder bed fusion and post-processing*of Ti64 components and their mechanical and geometric characteristics; c) direct costs of LPBF processing and*post-processing of these components. The results obtained will be used in the rapidly growing sector of*additive manufacturing.
