Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatments are traditionally used to seal internal porosity, because defects exist in as-built Ti-6Al-4V parts produced by electron-beam melting powder-bed fusion. Standard HIP treatment of Ti-6Al-4V parts results in decreased strength due to coarsening of the microstructure. We present a new HIP strategy with the following steps: hold above the β-transus, rapid quenching, and tempering. This new HIP treatment seals internal porosity, causes a columnar-to-equiaxed transition in morphology of prior-β grains, changes the α lath aspect ratio, removes microstructural heterogeneities and matches the yield and ultimate tensile strength of the as-built condition.
传统上,热等静压(HIP)处理用于封闭内部孔隙,因为通过电子束熔化粉末床熔合制造的增材制造Ti-6Al-4V零件存在缺陷。Ti-6Al-4V零件的标准HIP处理会因微观结构粗化而导致强度降低。我们提出了一种新的HIP策略,包括以下步骤:在β转变温度以上保温、快速淬火和回火。这种新的HIP处理封闭了内部孔隙,使原始β晶粒形态发生柱状到等轴的转变,改变了α板条的长宽比,消除了微观结构的不均匀性,并使屈服强度和极限抗拉强度与增材制造状态相匹配。
