Refinement of the grain structure of selective laser melted Ti-6Al-4V via induction heat treatment

Selective laser melting (SLM) has been shown to be an attractive manufacturing route for the production of α/β titanium alloys, and in particular Ti-6Al-4V. Post-process heat treatments are widely used to tune the microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of the as-built parts. However, c...
