The mechanical reliability of alloys produced by Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is a key
concern limiting their practical insertion into structural applications. While it is generally …

A single track, as the basic unit of laser directed energy deposition (L-DED) process, plays a
significant role in the dimensional accuracy and mechanical performances of the ultimate …

Building from a foundation of microstructural characterization, mechanical testing, 3D
statistically equivalent microstructural volume elements (SEMVEs), and image-based …

In this study, the influence that porosities play on the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V
parts fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was investigated with the aim of …

Quenching experiments having different cooling rates up to 1.6× 10 4˚ C/s were applied on
rolled Ti–6Al–4V sheets. Twins were not observed in the condition with a low cooling rate …

Additively-manufactured Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) exhibits high strength but in some cases inferior
elongation to those of conventionally manufactured materials. Post-processing of additively …

The improvement of the density with functional microstructure is still a challenge in the
Selective Laser Melting process considering the laser processing parameters. In this study …

The uniaxial compression tests with respect to the different loading directions (ie, parallel,
and perpendicular to the building direction) were performed to investigate the anisotropic …

Additive manufacturing has been established as a process to produce structural and load-
bearing parts, and this process has become attractive to many industries such as medical …

A biomedical Ti15Mo (wt%) alloy with a relative density of 99.9% was successfully fabricated
using selective laser melting. Characterization of its microstructure revealed that it …
