Effect of Hot Isostatic Pressure treatment on the Electron-Beam Melted Ti-6Al-4V specimens

To investigate this aspect, Ti-6Al-4V cylinder parts were printed on the ARCAM EBM A2X machine using a 210×210 mm building platform. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the EBM specimens were tested before and after the HIP treatment. High cycle fatigue tests (HCFT), fracture surface examination, as well as micro-CT evaluation were performed.
