Additive manufacturing (AM) is an innovative technology that creates objects with a complex
geometry layer-by-layer, and it has rapidly prospered in manufacturing metallic parts for
structural and functional applications. Recent literatures have investigated the effect of
different AM technologies on the microstructure evolution of titanium alloys. However, metal
AM has mostly been regarded only as a shaping technology for near-net-shape
manufacturing. A huge advantage of AM in alloy design and treatments has been largely …
