Simulation of Cooling Rate Effects on Ti-6Al-4V Microstructure Tailoring in Direct Laser Deposition

Abstract

Transient temperature history is vital in direct laser deposition (DLD) because it reveals the cooling rate at specific temperatures, which directly relates to phase transformation and types of microstructure formed in deposit. FEA simulation was employed to study the transient temperature history and cooling rate at different experimental setups in Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb DLD process. In this paper, an innovative model was described, which combines a moving Gaussian distribution heat source and element birth and death technology in ANSYS, help to analysis cooling rate control method and guide crack-free deposits build process.
