Temperature-time cycles are essential for the formation of microstructures and thus the mechanical properties of materials. In additive manufacturing, components undergo changing temperature regimes because of the track- and layer-wise build-up. Because of the high brittleness of titanium aluminides, preheating is used to prevent cracking. This also effects the thermal history. In the present study, local solidification conditions during the additive manufacturing process of Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb with laser metal deposition (LMD) are investigated by both simulation and experimental investigations. Dependencies of the build-up height, preheating temperatures, process parameters and effects on the resulting microstructure are considered, including the heat treatment. Solidification conditions are found to be dependent on the build height and thus actual preheating temperature, process parameters and location in the melt pool. Influences on both chemical composition and microstructure are observed. Resulting differences can almost be balanced through post heat treatment.
