description | Titanium alloys produced through selective laser melting (SLM) are increasingly utilized in aerospace, defense, and marine sectors due to their design flexibility and high-temperature capabilities. Therefore, precise temperature-dependent characterization is essential for optimizing their engineering applications. This study investigates the thermal and mechanical properties of SLM-fabricated Ti600 alloy across a temperature range from room temperature to 700 °C. The findings indicate that thermal conductivity and thermal expansion both increased with temperature. Tensile testing shows a decrease in elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength as temperature rises, with a significant decline observed near 550 °C. Microstructural analysis of tensile fractures reveals coarsening of the precipitated phase at temperatures above 500 °C, which correlates with the observed reduction in mechanical performance. Differential scanning calorimetry identifies 550 °C as a critical phase transition temperature, further explaining the degradation in properties. In addition, a temperature-dependent thermal performance prediction model and a bilinear temperature-dependent (BTD) constitutive model, incorporating strain hardening and phase transformation, were developed. Compared to the conventional Johnson-Cook constitutive model, the BTD model demonstrates superior accuracy in predicting stress-strain behavior at elevated temperatures. This study addresses the gap in knowledge regarding the high-temperature thermal and mechanical behavior of SLM-fabricated Ti600, offering valuable insights for its broader industrial application. |
