The coarse powder is a byproduct of pre-alloyed powder produced for selective laser and electron beam additive manufacturing. The TMC process involves powder compaction, fast sintering,in-situ dehydrogenation and an immediate hot extrusion to form a fully dense and fine-grained martensitic microstructure. Further dehydrogenation in vaccum at 700 °C converted the martensitic microstructure into an interwoven α/β microstructure which exhibited an improved yield strength, apparent necking and premature cracking at grain boundary α(α_(GB)) ribbons. A further annealing of 880 ℃/1 h/AC led to the formation of a fine-grained α/β_(t)composite structure, which achieved an enhance ultimate tensile strength of 835 MPa and excellent tensile ductility of 16.0%. Analysis of the deformation behavior of the alloy in different states revealed that the α/β_(t)composite structures brought about an enhanced strain hardening capability by heterogeneous deformation effect of hard β_(t)and soft α-laths, which inhibited the formation of microcracks and consequently improved the coordinated deformation.展开更多
