Characterization and thermal analysis of laser metal deposited γ-TiAl thin walls

The present work focuses on investigating the effect of process variables (power, travel speed, powder flow rate) on microstructure and mechanical properties of Laser Metal Deposited (LMD) γ-TiAl thin walls. To this end, LMD technique was used to deposit γ-TiAl thin walls at different processing con...
