As manufactured microstructure for additively manufactured Ti64ELI consists of fully acicular alpha prime (α‘) phase.
Standard heat treatments for titanium do not necessarily produce desired microstructures due to this different starting microstructure.
Heat treatment is recommended to relieve stresses and to increase ductility. Use of vacuum furnace is highly recommended to avoid the formation of alpha case on the surface of the parts.
Heat Treatment Description:
120min (± 30 min) at 800 °C (± 10°C) measured from the part in vacuum (1.3x10-3-1.3x10-5 mbar) followed by cooling under vacuum or argon quenching.
Material mechanical properties are relatively insensitive to changes in heating and cooling rates, but longer treatment times may result in decreased strength and increased elongation.
Parts heat treated according to the recommended heat treatment have a microstructure consisting of fine alpha + beta (α + β) phase.
Elogation at break A and reduction of area Z in vertical direction in heat treated condition: Mean values above the standard limits, some outliers below the limtis.
