Degradation Properties of Titanium Alloy Ti–6Al–4V During Selective Laser Sintering

285–298 (2025)

PACS numbers: 61.43.Gt, 62.20.fg, 81.05.Rm, 81.07.Wx, 81.20.Ev, 83.60.La, 83.80.Fg

The impact of multiple reuse of titanium Ti–6Al–4V-alloy powder in the selective laser melting (SLM) process on its physicochemical properties and the quality of the fabricated wares is revealed. A comprehensive study is concerned to the particle-sizes' distribution, microstructure, chemical composition, and mechanical properties of the powder at various stages of its usage. Degradation processes, including oxide formation, particle-morphology changes, increased oxygen content, and particle agglomeration, are identified as factors deteriorating the mechanical properties of printed products. Methods for powder regeneration, such as sieving and adding new material, are analysed and shown to restore partially its properties. Recommendations on optimal conditions for the powder use and regeneration are provided, aiming to enhance the efficiency of additive manufacturing. The study findings are valuable for the industrial and medical applications, where a balance between cost-effectiveness and product quality is critical
