Abstract
MicroCT evidence, supported by SEM microscopy, shows that in the as-fabricated material the bimodal structure caused by the 'island' scan-strategy translates directly into the macroscopic pattern for the regions of extensive weld cracking associated with the SLM fabrication of γⲠhardenable materials. Similar microCT data has shown that HIPping can effectively close the internal cracks to provide a retro-fix solution.
