Abstract
This study introduces a combined phase-field multi-physics approach to simulate laser-induced phase transformations and microstructural evolution in the Ti-Au alloy system, which is crucial for advancing additive manufacturing processes. By varying laser parameters, such as irradiance and scan speed, we used simulations to quantify phase areas and free energy dynamics, revealing intricate interplays between heat flow and chemical diffusion. The simulations show that under maximum heat flux conditions (150 kW/cm at 4 nm/ms), meltpool depth reached 180 nm, surpassing the 158 nm depth observed at 134.6 kW/cm. Moreover, the growth of TiAu intermetallic compound (IMC) formed due to the interfacial reaction was studied. IMC layer thickness peaked at 364 nm under higher irradiance, marking a 25% increase over lower irradiance conditions. Analysis of Lewis Number revealed that meltpool diffusion occurs more slowly than heat transfer.
期刊介绍:
The goal of Computational Materials Science is to report on results that provide new or unique insights into, or significantly expand our understanding of, the properties of materials or phenomena associated with their design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and utilization. To be relevant to the journal, the results should be applied or applicable to specific material systems that are discussed within the submission.
