Correlation between Laser-Ultrasound and Microstructural Properties of Laser Melting Deposited Ti6Al4V/B<sub>4</sub>C Composites

The presence of large microtextured clusters (MTC) composed of small α-phase crystallites with preferred crystallographic orientations in 3D printed near-α titanium alloys leads to poor mechanical and fatigue properties. It is therefore crucial to characterize the size of MTCs nondestructively. Ti6A...
