The effect of manufacturing defects on the fatigue life of selective laser melted Ti-6Al-4V structures
The manufacturing defects introduced by selective laser melting typically lead to lower fatigue strength and a larger variation in fatigue life compared to conventionally manufactured structures. X-ray micro computed tomography (μCT) is used to characterize the porosity and lack of fusion defects in...
