The mechanical performance of powder bed fused (PBF) components can vary significantly,
even within a single build with processing parameters kept constant. To better …

The effects of build orientation on the fatigue behavior of additively-manufactured Ti-6Al-4V
using a Laser-Based Power Bed Fusion (L-PBF) process is investigated. Ti-6Al-4V rods …

To achieve widespread adoption of AM, industry must understand the factors that lead to
intermittent incidents of low fatigue performance. To explore this, 150 fatigue coupons were …

Manufacturing defects, high residual stress (RS), and microstructures affect the structural
integrity of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) Ti-6Al-4V. In this study, the individual effect of …

The orientation dependency of the fatigue behaviour of laser powder bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V
has been analyzed and rationalized. Seven build orientations relative to the build plate have …

Abstract Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is a widely-used additive manufacturing (AM)
technique for producing complex metal parts used for a variety of dynamically loaded …

A sample size effect which influences the fatigue behaviour of laser powder bed fusion Ti-
6Al-4V is identified and quantified. Two cylindrical samples are considered:∅ 1.3 mm and∅ …

This paper investigates the fatigue strength of plain and notched specimens produced via
laser powder bed fusion and heat-treated at different temperatures ranging between 800° C …

This work is focused on the effect of natural defect on the fatigue resistance of a laser
powder bed fusion additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V titanium. To reveal the fatigue strength …

Abstract The Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) performance of an aero-engine bracket in a 'struts
and connectors' design, made using the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process has …
