Local Environment of Superoxide Radical Formed on the TiO 2 Surface Produced From Ti(OiPr) 4 Exposed to H 2 O 2

A selective heterogeneous catalyst with the superoxide anion O 2 •– stable at room temperature, generated by treating Ti(OR) 4 (R=iPr, nBu) with H 2 O 2 , was previously reported and used for the oxidation of organic compounds. Furthermore, it was proposed that exceptional stability of the O 2 •– is resulted from its stabilization near Ti +4 cation on the TiO 2 surface with participation of water molecules and/or OH groups. In this article, we performed high-resolution pulsed EPR study on the O 2 •– in this catalyst with the aim to obtain quantitative information about its interactions with the surrounding molecules. Our data has shown that the O 2 •– is involved in weak hyperfine interactions with protons in the nearest environment, which do not exceed a value of 2 MHz. It corresponds to an Os…H distance of ≥ 3 Å that exclude the formation of hydrogen bonds. The analysis of possible structures of O 2 •– adsorption on TiO 2 surface taking into account our results and lack of radical mobility at room temperature previously observed in EPR spectra led us to suggest that the O 2 •– is stabilized in the form of superoxo bridge coordinated with two titanium atoms.

Preliminary Study on Machining of Additively Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V

We report additively manufactured metals differ from their conventionally produced counterparts due to the inherent material inhomogeneity, porosity, and thermal stress induced by the process. These differences make the machining of additively manufactured metals more difficult and cause premature tool failure or unexpected surface finish at certain conditions. This study takes the first step to investigate and identify the causes of these issues, particularly for Ti-6Al-4V. Printed and wrought samples, as well as heat treatment effect, are compared in a dry cutting condition at a cutting speed of 90 m/min in terms of cutting power, vibration, temperature, and produced surface finish. The results show a lower cutting power and more vibration for as-printed Ti samples, indicating a less ductile microstructure and inclusion of pores. Heat treatment can eliminate these phenomena. There is no significant difference found in the produced surface finish at the current cutting condition.

On the Prediction of Uniaxial Tensile Behavior Beyond the Yield Point of Wrought and Additively Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V

In this paper, phenomenological relationships are presented that permit the prediction of the plastic regime of stress–strain curves using a limited number of parameters. These relationships were obtained from both conventional (wrought + β annealed) and additively manufactured (i.e., “3D printed”) Ti-6Al-4V. Three different methods of additive manufacturing have been exploited to produce the materials, including large-volume electron beam additive manufacturing, large-volume laser hot wire additive manufacturing, and small-volume selective laser melting. The general fundamental expressions are independent not only of the additive manufacturing process, but also of a wide variety of post-deposition heat treatments, however the coefficients are specific to material states. Thus, this work demonstrates that it is possible to predict not only the ultimate tensile strength, but also the full true stress, true strain curves, if certain parameters of the material are known. In general, the prediction of ultimate tensile strength are within 5% of the experimentally measured values across all additive manufacturing variants and subsequent heat treatments. The absolute values of ultimate tensile strength range from ~ 910 MPa to ~ 1170 MPa for the single alloy Ti-6Al-4V. Data representing 113 explicit samples are included in this work.

Modeling the role of local crystallographic correlations in microstructures of Ti-6Al-4V using a correlated structure visco-plastic self-consistent polycrystal plasticity formulation

This paper presents a multi-level crystal plasticity-based simulation framework for modeling mechanical response and microstructure evolution of Ti-6Al-4V with α-lath/lamellar microstructures. Here, the model is a correlated structure visco-plastic self-consistent (CS-VPSC) formulation linking three scales: a single crystals micro-scale, a lath/lamellar colony meso-scale, and a lath/lamellar aggregate macro-scale. A selected hardening law for the evolution of critical resolved shear stress per slip system used in CS-VPSC is phenomenological. However, it adjusts the resistances of basal and prismatic slip systems based on the geometry of slip transfer between adjacent lamellae. Consistent with experimental evidences, the resolved shear stress on the pyramidal slip planes is dependent not only on the stress in the direction of slip but also on the two orthogonal shear stress components and the three normal stress components (non-Schmid effects). Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data in conjunction with a procedure relying on α→β phase transformation is used to construct paired variants of α-laths/lamellae satisfying their local crystallographic correlations. The procedure fits volume fractions of individual laths/lamellae with the experimental EBSD data and selects a distribution of habit planes between adjacent variants with respect to the loading direction. The simulation framework is applied to interpret the deformation behavior in tension and compression along two sample directions of Ti-6Al-4V fabricated via laser powder bed fusion. Moreover, the model is used to simulate texture evolution during rolling of the material to large strains. It is demonstrated that the model is capable of predicting plastic anisotropy/asymmetry and the concomitant texture evolution. While the model reveals a significant effect of habit plane inclination with respect to the loading direction on yield stress, the comparison of the data and model predictions shows that a random distribution of habit planes fits the flow response. It is further inferred that the tension-compression asymmetry arises from the non-Schmid effects.

Effect of the scanning strategy on the formation of residual stresses in additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V

During the laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process, high laser intensities, short interaction times and highly localized heat input drive large thermal gradients that result in a state of high residual stresses. Generally, the residual stresses that develop during the L-PBF process can compromise the performance of the component. Up to now, the literature has indicated that the magnitude of the residual stresses can be affected by various process parameters. In this study, all process parameters such as laser power and speed are held fixed and the focus is solely on the effect of the laser scan strategy on the three-dimensional residual stress state of L-PBF metallic components. Four Ti-6Al-4V bridge shaped components were built using island and continuous scanning patterns parallel and offset 45° from the sample axes. High-energy X-ray diffraction was used to determine the residual stress field in each of the components. Two of them were re-measured after being partially removed from the build plate. The assumptions implicit in diffraction measurements of stress are reviewed and discussed in depth because the unique microstructure associated with L-PBF Ti-6Al-4V renders the validity of those assumptions uncertain. Specifically, additional data was collected and analyzed to evaluate the relationship between grain scale and macroscopic scale stresses. The observed residual stresses were large, ½ to ¾ of the yield strength, particularly the build direction stresses near the lateral edges of the bridges. Here in this work, the higher stresses were observed in the bridges built via the island scan strategies, chiefly near the edges of the parts.
