RESUMO
In this study, a new wire + powder synchronous arc additive manufacturing technique was used to manufacture Ti-Cu alloys. The microstructure and properties of the as-fabricated alloys were studied. The results showed that the prepared Ti-Cu alloys have good properties. The Cu with high growth restriction factor can increase the constitutional supercooling zone in the Ti-Cu alloys, which can override the negative effect of a high thermal gradient in the manufacturing process. Through the observation of the microstructure, the as-printed Ti-Cu alloy specimens have equiaxed fine-grained microstructure. Through corrosion performance analysis, the Cu can also make the passivation film of the alloy more compact and make the alloy more corrosion resistant.
