Effect of Laser Scanning Speed and Fine Shot Peening on Pore Characteristics, Hardness, and Residual Stress of Ti-6Al-4V Fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

There is a concern regarding sub-surface pores within laser powder bed fusion of Ti-6Al-4V, which can initiate cracks and reduce mechanical properties, especially after machining for surface finishing. This study investigated the effect of laser scanning speed and fine shot peening on the pore chara...
