Additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic components offers many advantages over
conventional manufacturing methods, most notably design freedom at little material waste …

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 population of build defects as a function of position on the build plate was examined in
Ti-6Al-4V specimens fabricated on two common commercial laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) …

Abstract When Ti-6Al-4V is processed by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), a material with a
martensitic microstructure is obtained. Moreover, the presence of internal stresses, an outer …

Additive manufacturing is a state-of-the-art production technology to produce tailor-made
and highly complex parts. Among various other alloys, Ti base alloys are frequently used in …

Laser-based powder bed fusion, due to its layer-by-layer nature, results in a unique stress
profile in a part after the primary production process. The residual stresses are typically …

The control and predictability of mechanical properties during manufacturing is essential in
achieving parts that consistently deliver adequate mechanical properties. In laser powder …

The value of fatigue predictive NASGRO models hinges on the quality of established
parameters to describe the behaviour of the subject material. To establish these parameters …

The unique microstructure of Ti6Al4V produced through laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)
displays high tensile strength with low elongation in the as-built state. To obtain desired …

This paper aims at analyzing the effect of heat treatment using Concentrated Solar Energy
