Influence of scanning strategies on L-PBF processing of titanium aluminides

Titanium Aluminides (TiAls) are highly appealing alloys in aerospace and automobile industries due to their combination of high specific strength and low density. However, their poor ductility is challenging during subtractive processing. Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) offers new horizons for processing different materials with complex shapes and high quality. Nevertheless, the TiAl parts …
