Residual Stress Modelling and Experimental Analyses of Ti6Al4V ELI Additive Manufactured by Laser Engineered Net Shaping
摘要： This paper focus on the experimental analyses and modelling of the residual stresses build up during laser additive manufacturing by Laser Engineered Net Shaping. Currently, additive manufactured parts employ heat treatment for the reduction of internal stresses, but then additional advantages are also possible from heat treatment. The experimental analyses focus on stress relieving heat treatment temperatures to reduce the residual stresses during laser processing of LENS Ti6Al4V ELI specimens. LENS parts out of Ti6Al4V ELI will illustrate the mechanical property possibilities resulting from the selected stress relieving heat treatments in this study. The primary aim of heat treatment in this case of Ti6Al4V ELI is the reduction of internal stresses. Due to the mechanical behaviour of Ti6Al4V as built additive manufactured parts, the heat treatment seems to be necessary to increase the mechanical behaviour, such as the fatigue performance and the breaking elongation. Optical Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope and Vickers hardness test was employed to carry out detailed study of the resulting microstructures and Hardness. The model by COMSOL Multiphysics was employed to predict the residual stresses of as built LENS Ti6Al4V ELI and to better understand the residual stresses amounts in the Ti6Al4V ELI alloy that need to be minimized by heat stress relieving heat treatment methods. The results included the β-phase that formed in the stress relieving heat treatment process that was transformed to martensite α during the cooling process and a fine basket-weave structure emerged. The microhardness of LENS Ti6Al4V ELI alloy gradually decreased with increasing stress relieving heat treatment temperature. The computed model revealed the maximum stress of 1.78x109 MPa, the Model strongly recommended the LENS process parameters suitable to obtain Ti6Al4V ELI samples with minimal residual stresses and a further possible method to alleviate the attained residual stresses in the model to the desired elasticity.

Effect of calcium oxide doping on the microstructure and optical properties of YAG transparent ceramics
摘要： Yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum sintering the co-precipitated raw powders with calcium oxide (CaO) as the sintering aid. The influence of CaO content on the phase composition, particle size and the morphologies of resultant YAG powders, as well as the microstructural and optical properties of YAG ceramics, was investigated in detail. Our results show that with increasing of CaO additives, the particle size and agglomeration degree of the powders were slightly increased and the grain growth of the ceramics was inhibited. Specifically, the grain size initially decreased dramatically till reaching a minimum value of 1.85 μm with 0.3 at% CaO, then slightly increased. In addition, for YAG ceramics with a high CaO doping level, the existence of liquid phase was observed for the first time and its sintering mechanism was discussed. The excess of CaO causes the formation of grain boundary phases and residual pores, which are detrimental for maintaining higher optical quality of YAG ceramics. We obtained a fully dense and pore-free YAG ceramic with an in-line transmittance of 80.8% at 1100 nm by adopting 0.1 at% level of CaO during sintering of the green bodies at 1780°C for 20 h in vacuum.
