Role of thermo-mechanical gyrations on the α/β interface stability in a Ti6Al4V AM alloy

The use of defects and compositional variations to elucidate physical phenomena in electron beam melted Ti-6Al-4V across scan strategies

“…and can be further classified into liquid-solid TMGs, solid-solid TMGs, and other variations (i.e., melting, solidification, and then remelting, or solidified material which enters a region of higher temperature that enables sintering to occur before cooling again, respectively) [99]. TMGs which involve a gaseous phase are less common in EBM but still occur.…”

“…TMGs which involve a gaseous phase are less common in EBM but still occur. The particular TMGs that a region undergoes are a result of processing parameters, local structures, material properties, and other characteristics of a build [99].…”
