Abstract
The phase composition, microstructure, tensile properties of TC4 samples produced by laser melting deposition (LMD)and LMD followed by solution-aging treatment were investigated to explore a simpler approach to improve the mechanicalperformances and eliminate negative influences by post treatment. The as-deposited TC4 microstructure showed a combinationof α΄martensite and α-colony with various shapes, such as acicular, rod-like and lamellar. As a synergistic result ofsolution and aging treatment, the dispersion strengthening of secondary-α as well as optimization on length-width ratio ofprimary-α and volume fraction of β-phase cause an increase in the ductility and strength. Meanwhile, there is a differencebetween microstructure of water-quenched specimens and air-cooled specimens, subsequently playing a key role in properties. The solution with air-cooling and aging is comparatively found to significantly reduce the anisotropy and improvecomprehensive performance.
