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.
