Microestrutural characterization for Ti-5553 and Ti-5553/1%B4C produced via additive manufacturing (BPF-LB): deformation analysis and intermetallics influence

These data were experimentally generated at the physical metallurgy laboratory (LABMET) of the School of Mechanical Engineering at UNICAMP. The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the influence of plastic deformation on the TWIP (Twinning induced plasticity) and TRIP (Transformation induced plasticity) effects in the Ti-5553 alloy obtained by powder bed fusion-laser beam (PBF-LB), as well as to evaluate the microstructural effect of B4C addition in the Ti-5553 alloy also obtained by PBF-LB.

These data correlate microstructural and crystallographic characteristics in deformation fracture initiation and propagation during compressive loading in Ti-5553, as well as grain morphology and thermal stress cracking during the manufacturing process of Ti-5553 with B4C addition.
