    Investigations on the Effect of Secondary Treatments on Ti48Al2Cr2Nb Alloy Manufactured by Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion Method
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Bilgin, Guney Mert; Ozer, Seren; Davut, Kemal; Esen, Ziya; Dericioglu, Arcan F.
    As-built Ti48Al2Cr2Nb alloy samples produced by electron beam powder bed fusion (PBF-EB) exhibited notable brittleness. The low ductility was attributed to coarse gamma bands aligned perpendicular to the building and tensile direction. Additionally, variations in aluminum content and hardness between the coarse colonies and fine gamma/alpha(2) lamellae contribute to this phenomenon. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) studies revealed a higher amount of dislocation density and inherent strain after PBF-EB manufacturing. Hence, usage of Ti48Al2Cr2Nb alloy in the as-built condition in aviation applications with high loads and demanding environments is not found to be viable. To eliminate these negative aspects and make PBF-EB produced Ti48Al2Cr2Nb alloy available for demanding applications, two distinct post-processing heat treatments; namely, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and annealing heat treatment (HT) were employed at 1200 degrees C. A comprehensive characterization covering microstructure analysis, EBSD, fracture surface examination, as well as room and high-temperature tensile tests allowed determination of the effect of post-processes. HIPing altered the banded structure observed in the as-built samples by increasing the amount of alpha(2) phase and grain size. On the other hand, HT made the banded structure more pronounced without significantly increasing the amount of alpha(2) phase. HT also strengthened the <001> texture, while HIPing introduced randomization of grains. On the other hand, complete recrystallization is achieved as a result of HT at 1200 degrees C for 2 h, whereas HIPing at the same temperature for 2 h induced only 80.5 % recrystallization. In both post-processes, dislocation density and inherent strain were reduced. Room temperature and high-temperature tensile tests demonstrated that both HIPing and HT eliminated the extreme brittleness of the as-built samples.

    Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Performance of Dual-Phase Steels Under Fiber Laser Welding: Effects of Heat Input and Weld Penetration
    (Springer, 2025) Tuncel, Oguz; Davut, Kemal; Aydin, Hakan
    This study investigates the effects of fiber laser welding (FLW) parameters on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of DP800, DP1000, and DP1200 dual-phase steels, focusing on the role of heat input. Welding was performed using laser powers ranging from 1500 to 3000 W and welding speeds between 20 and 100 mm/s, resulting in heat inputs from 18 to 120 J/mm. Optimal welding conditions were identified as 55 J/mm for DP800, 120 J/mm for DP1000, and 53 J/mm for DP1200, which ensured full penetration and minimized HAZ softening. Detailed microstructural analysis using SEM and EBSD revealed significant transformations in the heat-affected zone (HAZ), including martensite degradation, grain coarsening, and tempered martensite formation, particularly in DP1200 steel, where hardness reductions reached up to 29%. Tensile tests demonstrated that while DP800 and DP1000 joints primarily failed within the base material (BM) with ductile fracture characteristics, DP1200 joints fractured within the HAZ due to a combination of brittle cleavage and ductile dimples caused by martensite breakdown and carbide precipitation. The findings underscore the necessity of optimizing welding parameters to control HAZ softening and preserve mechanical performance. By systematically analyzing the interplay between heat input, microstructure, and mechanical properties across different DP steel grades, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of how FLW conditions influence joint integrity, offering valuable guidance for designing robust welding strategies in advanced engineering applications.
