Additive manufacturing (AM) creates digitally designed parts by successive addition of
material. However, owing to intrinsic thermal cycling, metallic parts produced by AM almost …

As a dual-phase α+ β titanium alloy broadly used in the aerospace and biomedicine sectors,
Ti-6Al-4V offers a variety of attractive mechanical properties imparted by its tailorable …

In metallurgy, mechanical deformation is essential to engineer the microstructure of metals
and to tailor their mechanical properties. However, this practice is inapplicable to near-net …

A bimodal globularized microstructure in contrast to martensitic laths is known to impart high
strength and toughness in Ti-6Al-4V. Heat treatment for the phase transformation of the laths …

Additive manufacturing, often known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a process in
which a part is built layer-by-layer and is a promising approach for creating components …

Additive manufacturing (AM) has opened new possibilities for site-specific microstructure
control of metal alloys. In laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) AM, the microstructure can be …

The coarse prior-β grain structure in titanium alloys produced by additive manufacturing is
associated to mechanical anisotropy and limited fatigue life. Here we report a novel …

Abstract Ti-6Al-4V is the single most important Ti alloy, accounting for use in almost 60% of
all the applications of Ti materials. Additive manufacturing (AM) offers design freedom with …

The nature of rapid cyclic heating and cooling in metal additive manufacturing poses a great
challenge in the control of microstructure while a metallic part is being built. With metastable …
