Deformation-free geometric recrystallisation in a metastable β-Ti alloy produced by selective laser melting

Super-transus heat treatments conducted on an additively manufactured body-centred-cubic β-Ti alloy led to the formation of equiaxed β grains from an initially columnar structure. The grain structure was transformed thanks to a combination of Plateau-Rayleigh instability and grain growth driven by r...
