TLDR
In this paper, the authors evaluated the fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V specimens produced by the Selective Laser Melting additive manufacturing process and found that the fatigue life is significantly lower compared to wrought material.Abstract:
Additive Manufacturing of titanium components holds promise to deliver benefits such as reduced cost, weight and carbon emissions during both manufacture and use. To capitalize on these benefits, it must be shown that the mechanical performance of parts produced by Additive Manufacturing can meet design requirements that are typically based on wrought material performance properties. Of particular concern for safety critical structures are the fatigue properties of parts produced by Additive Manufacturing. This research evaluates the fatigue properties of Ti–6Al–4V specimens produced by the Selective Laser Melting additive manufacturing process. It was found that the fatigue life is significantly lower compared to wrought material. This reduction in fatigue performance was attributed to a variety of issues, such as microstructure, porosity, surface finish and residual stress. There was also found to be a high degree of anisotropy in the fatigue performance associated with the specimen build orientation.read more

Consolidation phenomena in laser and powder-bed based layered manufacturing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe which types of laser-induced consolidation can be applied to what type of material, and demonstrate that although SLS/SLM can process polymers, metals, ceramics and composites, quite some limitations and problems cause the palette of applicable materials still to be limited.

On the mechanical behaviour of titanium alloy TiAl6V4 manufactured by selective laser melting: Fatigue resistance and crack growth performance
Stefan Leuders,M. Thöne,Andre Riemer,Thomas Niendorf,Thomas Tröster,Hans Albert Richard,Hans Jürgen Maier +6 more
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.
