Residual stress is a crucial element in determining the integrity of parts and lifetime of additively manufactured structures. In stainless steel and Ti-6Al-4V fabricated joints, residual stress causes cracking and delamination of the brittle intermetallic joint interface. Knowledge of the degree of residual stress at the joint interface is, therefore, important; however, the available information is limited owing to the joint’s brittle nature and its high failure susceptibility. In this study, the residual stress distribution during the deposition of 17-4PH stainless steel on Ti-6Al-4V alloy was predicted using Simufact additive software based on the finite element modeling technique. A sharp stress gradient was revealed at the joint interface, with compressive stress on the Ti-6Al-4V side and tensile stress on the 17-4PH side. This distribution is attributed to the large difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the two metals. The 17-4PH side exhibited maximum equivalent stress of 500 MPa, which was twice that of the Ti-6Al-4V side (240 MPa). This showed good correlation with the thermal residual stress calculations of the alloys. The thermal history predicted via simulation at the joint interface was within the temperature range of 368–477 °C and was highly congruent with that obtained in the actual experiment, approximately 300–450 °C. In the actual experiment, joint delamination occurred, ascribable to the residual stress accumulation and multiple additive manufacturing (AM) thermal cycles on the brittle FeTi and Fe2Ti intermetallic joint interface. The build deflected to the side at an angle of 0.708° after the simulation. This study could serve as a valid reference for engineers to understand the residual stress development in 17-4PH and Ti-6Al-4V joints fabricated with AM.

Titanium alloys are desirable materials for aerospace industry because of their excellent combination of high specific strength, lightweight, fracture resistant characteristics, and general corrosion resistance. Therefore, the chip morphology is very important in the study of machinability of metals as well as the study of cutting tool wear. The chips are generally classified into four groups: continuous chips, chips with built-up-edges (BUE), discontinuous chips and serrated chips. . The chip morphology and segmentation play a predominant role in determining machinability and tool wear during the machining process. The mechanics of segmented chip formation during orthogonal cutting of titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V are studied in detail with the aid of high-speed imaging of the chip formation zone. The finite element model of chip formation of Ti–6Al–4V is suggested as a discontinuous type chip at lower cutting speeds developing into a continuous, but segmented, chip at higher cutting speeds. The prediction by using finite-element modeling method and simulation process in machining while create chips formation can contribute in reducing the cost of manufacturing in terms of prolongs the cutting tool life and machining time saving.
