Zusammenfassung:In this work, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was explored to fabricate TA15 (Ti-6Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V) titanium alloy based on the experimental design obtained by using the Taguchi method. The impact of processing parameters (including laser power, scanning speed, and scanning interval) on the density and microhardness of the as-LPBFed TA15 titanium alloy was analyzed using the Taguchi method and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The interaction among parameters on the density of the as-LPBFed TA15 titanium alloy was indicated by a response surface graph (RSR). When the laser energy density was adjusted to 100 J/mm3, the highest relative density could reach 99.7%. The further increase in the energy input led to the reduction in relative density, due to the formation of tiny holes caused by the vaporization of material at a high absorption of heat. Furthermore, in order to better reveal the correlation between relative density and processing parameters, the regression analysis was carried out for relative density. The results showed that the experimental and predicted values obtained by the regression equation were nearly the same.
