Simulation-assisted investigation on the formation of layer bands and the microstructural evolution in directed energy deposition of Ti6Al4V blocks

Additive manufacturing (AM) of titanium alloy entails severe microstructural heterogeneity and layer bands due to diverse thermal histories. While the thermal-microstructure relationship in AM has been reported, the details on how complex thermal histories influence the microstructural evolution hav...
