Five-parameter characterization of intervariant boundaries in additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V

Additive manufacturing has emerged as a promising route to fabricate complex-shaped Ti-6Al-4V parts. The microstructural evolution and variant selection across builds in response to different printing strategies processed by electron beam powder bed fusion has been previously clarified. However, a detailed knowledge of the grain boundary plane characteristics of the α-α intervariant interfaces is still missing. The aim of this study was to...
