(abstract)

In this study, the creep performance (at 500 °C) of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo wt.% (Ti6246) fabricated from three different laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processing conditions and heat-treated (HT) at 885 °C were investigated. In the as-built state, all the LPBFed-Ti6246 exhibited columnar microstructures with crystallographic lamellar-like microstructure (CLM), a near single crystal-like microstructure (SCM), and polycrystalline microstructure (PCM) textures, respectively. At low applied stresses (100 - 300 MPa), diffusional creep was the dominant deformation mechanism and its resistance depended on grain size. The β-forged-HT, characterized by large equiaxed grains, exhibited the lowest strain rate compared to the columnar microstructure of SX1 (CLM)-HT, SX2 (SCM)-HT, and SX3 (PCM)-HT. Conversely, dislocation slip governed deformation at high applied stresses (400 - 580 MPa) and its efficacy depended on the α/β interfaces in the microstructures. Compared to SX1 (CLM)-HT, SX2 (SCM)-HT, and SX3 (PCM)-HT, the β-forged-HT contained the lowest volume fraction of the α phase and hence showcased a large accelerated deformation as creep progressed. Disjointed columnar grains in SX1 (CLM)-HT and the deformation of the polycrystalline grains in SX3 (PCM)-HT indicated that the melt pool boundaries were unstable in the LPBFed-Ti6246. SX2 (SCM)-HT exhibited the longest creep life due to the relatively stable melt pool boundaries and the near <001> SCM crystallographic texture parallel to the applied stresses. Shallow dimples, cleavage facets, and the observation of laser scan tracks characterized the fracture surfaces of SX1 (CLM)-HT, SX2 (SCM)-HT, and SX3 (PCM)-HT. These indicated that failure occurred by intergranular fracture resulting from the formation of creep voids at the melt pool boundaries.
