The effect of post-deposition heat treatment on microstructure and fatigue crack growth has been analyzed for electron beam melted Ti-6Al-4V plates. Samples have been heat-treated at temperatures of 950◦C, and subsequently cooled at different cooling …
Continuous wave laser polishing is a promising technique for post-built smoothening of rough metallic surfaces produced by additive manufacturing. In laser polishing, a laser source melts a thin surface layer and redistributes the material resulting …
Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is an emerging additive manufacturing technique for the fabrication of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V for orthopedic applications. Here, a hybrid manufacturing technique viz. EBM with Friction Stir Processing (FSP) has been …
