Reducing time and cost of heat treatment post-processing of AM Ti6Al4V

The unique microstructure of Ti6Al4V produced through laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) displays high-tensile strength with low elongation in the as-built state. To obtain desired material properties that comply with standards for Ti6Al4V products, further post-processing is needed. Conventional practice prescribes that the required tensile properties can be achieved with time-consuming post-processing heat treatment of […]
