Α Phase

The in-situ tensile test of the field emission scanning electron microscope was used to study the deformation mechanism of the TC4 titanium alloy manufactured by laser additive manufacturing along the L direction (grain growth direction) and T direction (perpendicular to the grain growth direction). The test results show that during the tensile process, as deposited specimen mainly cracks along the interfaces of α and β which is 45 ° to the tensile direction. With the increase of load, the cracking increases. The surface of the sample fluctuates until breaks. There is no obvious change in the prior β grain boundary in L direction. The microcracks along grain boundaries were observed in T direction, which is consistent with the result that the plasticity in the T direction is less than that in L direction. After heat treatment, due to the increase of α lath width compared with the as-deposition, slip bands were observed in α phase. However, a large number of slip bands appear on the equiaxed α phase of the forged specimen.

Local Material

Continuous carbon fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites have convincing anisotropic properties, which can be used to strengthen structural components in a local, variable and efficient way. In this study, an additive manufacturing (AM) process is introduced to fabricate in situ consolidated continuous fibre-reinforced polycarbonate. Specimens with three different nozzle temperatures were in situ consolidated and tested in a three-point bending test. Computed tomography (CT) is used for a detailed analysis of the local material structure and resulting material porosity, thus the results can be put into context with process parameters. In addition, a highly curved test structure was fabricated that demonstrates the limits of the process and dependent fibre strand folding behaviours. These experimental investigations present the potential and the challenges of additive manufacturing-based in situ consolidated continuous fibre-reinforced polycarbonate.
