Abstract

An essentially fully acicular alpha-prime martensite within an equiaxed grain structure was produced in an Electron Beam Melting (EBM)-fabricated Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo (Ti6242) alloy using two different Arcam EBM machines: An A2X system employing tungsten filament thermionic electron emission, and a Q20 system employing LaB6 thermionic electron emission. Post-process Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) treatment for 2 h at 850, 950, and 1050 °C resulted in grain refinement and equiaxed grain growth along with alpha-prime martensite decomposition to form an intragranular mixture of acicular martensite and alpha at 850 °C, and acicular alpha phase at 950 and 150 °C, often exhibiting a Widmanstätten (basketweave) structure. The corresponding tensile yield stress and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) associated with the grain growth and acicular alpha evolution decreased from ~1 and ~1.1 GPa, respectively, for the as-fabricated Ti6242 alloy to ~0.8 and 0.9 GPa, respectively, for HIP at 1050 °C. The optimum elongation of ~15–16% occurred for HIP at 850 °C; for both EBM systems. Because of the interactive role played by equiaxed grain growth and the intragrain, acicular alpha microstructures, the hardness varied only by ~7% between 41 and 38 HRC.
