Abstract

This article presents fabrication, microstructure and mechanical properties study of Ti/TiAl functional gradient material. Ti-47Al-2.5V-Cr/Ti-6Al-2Zr-Mo-V gradient material was successfully fabricated by the laser melting deposition (LMD) manufacturing process. Microstructure and chemical composition was characterized by OM, SEM, TEM and EPMA. The Vickers hardness and room-temperature tensile property was evaluated on longitudinal direction. Results showed that fully lamellar (FL) microstructure consisted of γ-TiAl and α2-Ti3Al was formed on the Ti-47Al-2.5V-Cr side, while coarse basket weave microstructure was formed on the Ti-6Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V side. No cracking was found in the gradient zone after aging at 800 °C for 48 h. The room-temperature tensile strength of the as-deposited specimen is up to approximately 1198.8 MPa in the longitudinal direction, while the tensile elongation is approximately 0.4%, indicating a typical brittle fracture.
