Abstract:A novel lightweight Ti/Al density gradient material was fabricated successfully using the laser powder deposition technology. The microstructures of gradient materials were characterized by the scanning electron microscope, electron probe microanalyzer, energy spectrometer and microhardness tester. The crack formation mechanism and self-healing behavior were studied. The results show that the microstructure of lightweight Ti/Al density gradient material shows gradual change, and the phase evolution shows the regular change of Ti→Ti3Al→TiAl+Ti5Si3→TiAl3+TiAl+Ti5Si3+Al→TiAl3+Al. The average hardness of each gradient layer (Ⅰ-Ⅴ) are 370.9 HV0.1, 619.4 HV0.1, 567.7 HV0.1, 459.5 HV0.1 and 213.8 HV0.1, respectively. The cracks are observed in the gradient layer, which initiate at the interface or defects (holes, etc.). In the process of laser powder deposition of light Ti/Al density gradient materials, the subsequent metal solution in the molten pool can fill the cracks, complete self repair structurally, make the cracks heal and effectively prevent the further expansion of cracks.
