A strategy to improve the work-hardening behavior of Ti–6Al–4V parts produced by additive manufacturing

To improve the mechanical properties of additively manufactured parts, specific heat treatments must be developed. Annealing of electron beam-melted Ti–6Al–4V was performed at sub-transus temperatures and followed by water quenching. Such treatments generate an α + α′ dual-phase microstructure. Micr...
