Geometry Effect on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties in Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Ti-6Al-4V

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) of Ti-6Al-4V enables the manufacturing of complex parts for lightweight applications. The emerging microstructure in the LPBF process and thus the mechanical properties are defined by the thermal cycles, which are locally variable for complex geometries. Predictions of...
