Investigation of Microstructure and Tensile Properties of TC17 Alloy Fabricated by Electron Beam Wire Deposition
The microstructure and tensile properties of TC17 alloy fabricated by electron beam wire deposition (EBWD) were investigated. The as-built EBWD TC17 alloy exhibited a homogeneous element distribution
and the coarse columnar β grains grew epitaxially through many deposited layers along the z direction. Inside each columnar grain there was fine basket-waved microstructure. After hot isostatic pressing (HIP)
small α rods formed in the β matrix. In the solution treated and aged material
rod-like α phase and fine α precipitates both existed. The tensile strength and elongation of as-built EBWD TC17 alloy were 935MPa and 9.0%
respectively. The tensile strength and elongation after HIP were 904MPa and 18.0%. After solution treating and aging
the tensile strength increased 18% (to 1066MPa) compare with the HIP condition due to the strengthening effect of fine α precipitates. However
the elongation decreased significantly (to 7.5%) and the ductile dimples on the tensile fracture surface also decreased.
