Influence of minor addition of boron on tensile and fatigue properties of wrought Ti-6Al-4V alloy

► Microstructures and mechanical properties of wrought Ti-6Al-4V-B are investigated. ► α lamellae kinking and alignment of TiB particles occurs during forging. ► EBSD reveals basal texture in B free alloy and random texture in 0.09B alloy. ► Tensile and fatigue properties get enhanced slightly upon forging. ► The effect of TiB particles on mechanical properties was found to be insignificant.
