Titanium alloys can experience a cooling-induced phase transformation from a body-centred
cubic phase into a hexagonal close-packed phase which occurs in 12 crystallographically …

This paper focuses on the mechanisms of phase transformations in additively manufactured
Ti–6Al–4V during cooling. In particular, the goal is to understand if the imposed thermal …

Preventing columnar grain formation during additive manufacturing has become a
significant challenge. Columnar grains are generally regarded as unfavourable as their …

Although the development of titanium alloys with working temperatures above 600℃ faces
enormous difficulties and challenges, the related research has not stopped. In the present …

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 …

In order to improve the tensile properties of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V parts, specific
heat treatments have been developed. Previous work demonstrated that a sub-transus …

Abstract 10 1¯ 2 10 1¯ 1¯ twinning presents a variety of properties that entirely depart from
the classical twinning behavior. In this work, deformation of a single crystal Ti under uniaxial …

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 …

We have investigated the deformation behavior and texture evolution of two-phase Ti–6Al–
4V subjected to severe plastic deformation using equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at …

Metal-based additive manufacturing (AM) permits layer-by-layer fabrication of near net-
shaped metallic components with complex geometries not achievable using the design …
