Titanium alloys in last decades have caught on large use in aerospace, biomedical and motorsport fields due to their peerless strength-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and toughness. The Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo (Ti6242) enhance further application with respect to the most common Ti-6Al-4V, with higher maximum temperature of exercise (540°C). However, the machinability of this alloy is demanding, and additive manufacturing provides a possible reduction of tool usage, with the possibility to build by addition instead of subtraction as traditional technology are used to. For this reason, this thesis aims to find some suitable parameters for the Ti6242, by directed energy deposition (DED), through a process of parameter optimization by steps.
