Abstract
ageing (STA), (iii) hot isostatic pressing (HIP), and (iv) HIP followed by STA (HIP + STA). Complementary to tensile testing, characterisation of CS deposited material was also carried out in terms of microstructure and hardness. The STA process resulted in the highest improvement in ultimate tensile strength by more than 200%, reaching 868 MPa for ‘fully CS’ and 951 MPa for ‘CS repair’ specimens. However, no appreciable improvement in elongation at failure was achieved, highest being 1.2% for ‘fully CS’ after STA, and 4.3% for ‘CS repair’ after HIP. In addition to experimental investigation, a comprehensive collection of data from the open literature on the effect of various thermal treatments on improving the tensile properties of CS Ti6Al4V deposits is reported and discussed.
