摘要

In this study, the influence of various process parameters on the porosity of Ti-6Al-4V parts fabricated via Powder Bed Fusion – Laser Based (PBF-LB) is investigated. Three different layer thicknesses (30 μm, 60 μm, and 120 μm) were analyzed to define process windows enabling a build-rate acceleration while keeping the porosity below 0.1%. Through iterative parameter refinement, the effects of laser power, scan speed and hatch distance were examined in terms of linear energy density (LED), energy transmission density (ETD) and volumetric energy density (VED), and their influence on the formation of process-related defects such as pores. Correlations between these energy metrics and pore formation types (keyhole vs. lack-of-fusion) are discussed. The results demonstrate that process acceleration by a factor of more than 3 is possible while maintaining high quality of the components in terms of internal porosity. In addition, an accelerated method for manufacturing components using the PBF-LB process is presented, in which components are manufactured at very high build-rates but with increased porosity and then brought to the target porosity of 0.1% using the HIP process. This has made it possible to accelerate the build-rate in PBF-LB production by a further 32%. Accounting for the additional time required for HIP, the HIP route is faster than using the accelerated, which achieves the target porosity in as-built condition, for parts larger than 1421 cm3.
