In this study, a numerically efficient thermal finite element process model is developed to
predict the melt-pool characteristics of directed-energy deposition (DED) process. The …

In this work, the as-solidified β-grain microstructure and concentration evolutions for each
solute during the directed energy deposition (DED) of Ti6Al4V are successfully simulated via …

Abstract The additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V part suffers from undesirable α′ phase,
which leads to a decrease of its plasticity. In this research, density-based constituent phase …

Abstract High-performance Ti6Al4V surfaces are urgently demanded in advanced
manufacturing. However, balancing productivity, production costs and energy consumption …

Laser directed energy deposition (DED) involves complex physical processes, and the trial
