Synergistic enhancement of strength and ductility in laser direct energy deposited Ti-6Al-4V alloy via dual-microalloying with Cu and Nb
A dual-microalloying strategy is proposed to overcome the strength-ductility trade-off in laser-directed energy deposited (LDED) Ti-6Al-4V alloys. The Cu-Nb co-modified alloy, fabricated via LDED, achieves simultaneous α-lath refinement and reticulated structure due to intergranular Ti2Cu precipitation along β grain boundaries and the solute segregation effect. This unique microstructure configuration enables notable tensile properties (ultimate tensile strength (UTS): 1182.3 MPa, elongation: 8.6 %), demonstrating an exceptional strength-ductility synergy with 21.2 % and 17.8 % enhancements, respectively. The dual-phase strengthening mechanism originating from Cu-induced intermetallic precipitation and Nb-mediated β-phase stabilization establishes a new paradigm for additive manufacturing (AM) of high-performance titanium alloys through compositionally-tailored, in-situ precipitation engineering.
