文摘

The crystallographic texture, phase composition and evolution, and nanohardness of a Ti–45Al–2Cr–5Nb alloy processed by selective laser melting (SLM) at various substrate preheating temperatures were investigated. The α₂ phase decreases whereas the γ and B₂ phases increase with increasing preheating temperature, and the relationship in orientation between B₂, α₂ and γ phases is described as follows: $\left(11\bar{2}0\right){\alpha }_2//\left(111\right)\gamma //\left(111\right)B_2$. The SLM-processed TiAl alloy shows much higher nanohardness than its traditional casting counterpart, which increases with the increase of preheating temperature. The findings would be a valuable reference for fabricating TiAl components with acceptable texture, phase compositions and nanohardness by SLM.
