Effect of Various Peening Methods on the Fatigue Properties of Titanium Alloy Ti6Al4V Manufactured by Direct Metal Laser Sintering and Electron Beam Melting

Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V manufactured by additive manufacturing (AM) is an attractive material, but the fatigue strength of AM Ti6Al4V is remarkably weak. Thus, post-processing is very important. Shot peening can improve the fatigue strength of metallic materials, and novel peening methods, such as ca...
