This report delves into the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy parts manufactured using Selective Laser Melting (SLM). It investigates the influence of building direction and scanning strategies (meander and stripe patterns) on the tensile strength, hardness, and microstructure of the parts. The study also explores the effects of heat treatment on the mechanical behavior of the SLM-produced components. The methodology includes SLM operation with varying parameters, post-processing heat treatment, and mechanical tests like tensile strength and hardness measurements. The report reviews relevant literature on titanium alloys, SLM processes, and the impact of scanning strategies and heat treatments. It discusses the experimental setup, including powder material characteristics and SLM machine specifications. The results and discussion sections analyze the impact of printing orientation and heat treatment on the mechanical properties, providing insights into the relationship between manufacturing parameters and material performance. The conclusion summarizes the findings and offers recommendations for optimizing the SLM process for enhanced mechanical properties. The report also includes references to related research.
