Mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of martensitic Ti6Al4V alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion and water quenching
Martensitic Ti6Al4V samples were fabricated by laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing, water quenching of wrought and the additively manufactured Ti6Al4V samples respectively, their microstructural characteristics, tensile properties and deformation behaviours have been investigated in this study. These samples showed differences in grain orientations, size of the prior β grains,…
