Understanding the effect of scanning strategies on the microstructure and crystallographic texture of Ti-6Al-4V alloy manufactured by laser powder bed fusion

In this work, experimental and numerical approaches are performed to explore the influence of scanning strategies on the microstructure, crystallographic texture as well as the mechanical behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). In-situ monitored data of the energy intensity show that different scanning strategies result in variations of energy intensity distribution. The characterization of the microstructure...
