Abstract

This review examines the microstructural and mechanical properties of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy produced by wrought processing and powder metallurgy (PM), specifically laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and hot isostatic pressing. Wrought methods, such as forging and rolling, create equiaxed alpha (α) and beta (β) grain structures with balanced properties, which are ideal for fatigue resistance. In contrast, PM methods, particularly LPBF, often yield a martensitic α' structure with high microhardness, enabling complex geometries but requiring post-processing to improve its properties and reduce stress. The study evaluated the effects of processing parameters on grain size, phase distribution, and material characteristics, guiding the choice of fabrication techniques for optimizing Ti-6Al-4V performance in aerospace, biomedical, and automotive applications. The analysis emphasizes tailored processing to meet advanced engineering demands.

This research received support from two distinct projects under the Technology Innovation Program. The first project (grant number 20016092) focused on the development of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy plate with a thickness of 100 mm, tailored to meet aerospace material specifications. The second project (grant number 20010047) aimed at the development of a deoxidation refining process. This process was designed for handling over 100 kg per day of off-grade Ti scrap, facilitating the production of 4N5 grade ingot, and utilizing powder technology. Both projects were funded by the Ministry of Trade, Industry &; Energy (MOTIE), Korea.
