High Ductility in a fully martensitic microstructure: a paradox in a Ti alloy produced by selective laser melting

A fully martensitic Ti alloy consisting entirely of hexagonal-close-packed α′ was produced by selective laser melting (SLM), exhibiting an impressive combination of high strength and excellent ductility. A small quantity of body-centred-cubic β formed at some large primary α′ plates oriented at ∼45°...
