Effect of the aging process at a temperature of 300 degrees Celsius of Ti6Al4V alloy on mechanical strength under static loading conditions

Abstract

Conventional construction of components is slowly being replaced by rapid prototyping and the use of DMLS technology. The development of DMLS requires conducting experimental studies that build a knowledge base that allows for the averaging of mechanical properties. verification of how the initiation of the crack occurs in the material and how the energy is propagated in the samples that were made by a conventional method compared to the samples, where the method of sintering titanium layers will be used. The literature analysis showed no research results relating to the impact of values of strength parameters on the structure of materials produced by the DMLS method. Titanium samples made with the additive method and the conventional titanium grade 5 Ti6Al4V titanium method, which is used, among others, in medicine, were used for the tests. The article presents the influence of material structure on mechanical properties (Re, Rm, A, Z). The presented research is preliminary research defining the properties of the material, which are gaining more and more application by using the DMLS method in the construction of machines and in medicine.
