Abstract
The plastic deformation response to laser shock peening (LSP) remains unclear in laser directed energy deposited (LDED) Ti6Al4V alloy, especially involving α variant orientations and boundary structures. This work proposed a novel quasi-in-situ observation method to investigate the plastic deformation behavior. Results showed that basal slip exhibited a high sensitivity to LSP load, and micro shear bands formed along V12 variant. Slip transfer capability was affected by the angle of α/α phase boundaries, and widmanstatten at prior β grain boundary had good deformation coordination. This work revealed the microstructure response to LSP load, providing a theoretical foundation for applying LSP on LDED Ti6Al4V alloy.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
