TLDR
In this paper, the fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V specimens and components produced by Electron Beam additive manufacturing were evaluated and it was found that the fatigue performance of specimens produced by additive manufacturing is significantly lower than that of wrought material due to defects such as porosity and surface roughness.
Abstract
This research evaluates the fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V specimens and componentsproduced by Electron Beam additive manufacturing. It was found that the fatigue per-formance of specimens produced by additive manufacturing is significantly lower thanthat of wrought material due to defects such as porosity and surface roughness. However,evaluation of an actual component subjected to design fatigue loads did not result in pre-mature failure as anticipated by specimen testing. Metallography, residual stress, staticstrength and elongation, fracture toughness, crack growth, and the effect of post process-ing operations such as machining and peening on fatigue performance were alsoevaluated.

On the mechanical behaviour of titanium alloy TiAl6V4 manufactured by selective laser melting: Fatigue resistance and crack growth performance

TL;DR: In this article, the microstructure-defect-property relationship under cyclic loading for a TiAl6V4 alloy processed by selective laser melting is investigated. And the results show that the micron sized pores mainly affect fatigue strength, while residual stresses have a strong impact on fatigue crack growth.
