The objective of this work is a feasibility study on recycling the Ti6Al4V alloy powder used for the production via Direct Energy Deposition (DED) and an investigation on the effects on the processability. The powders analysed are first collected from a deposition tank after DED printing of an additive piece and then mechanically sieved to restore their original granulometry range of 45-106 µm. The second step has involved a comparison between virgin and recycled powders via SEM looking for oxidation, impurities and shape defects. Then new printing parameters have been searched through a DoE method to study the relationship between laser powder, scanning speed, hatching distance and layer height.
