Defects in Electron Beam Melted Ti-6Al-4V: Fatigue Life Prediction Using Experimental Data and Extreme Value Statistics

Defects in Electron Beam Melted Ti-6Al-4V: Fatigue Life Prediction Using Experimental Data and Extreme Value Statistics

Electron beam melting is a powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) method for metals offering opportunities for the reduction of material waste and freedom of design, but unfortunately also suffering from material defects from production. The stochastic nature of defect formation leads t...
