The influence of technological parameters of the laser engineered net shaping process on the quality of the formed object from titanium alloy VT23

OBRABOTKAMETALLOV MATERIAL SCIENCE Vol. 26 No. 2 2024 The monolayers microhardness is slightly higher than the one of the previously obtained tracks and amounts to 487 ± 15 HV, while the microhardness value of the monolayer does not depend on the deposition mode (Fig. 7). This result is likely due to the fact that during the laser deposition of multiple tracks, due to the re-heating of the already surfaced material, aging processes occur, i.e., the breakdown of supersaturated solid solutions, resulting in an increase of alloy microhardness. The modes providing the most uniform layer and the absence of macrodefects were selected to create bulk specimens (Table 5). a b c Fig. 6.
