X-ray refraction distinguishes unprocessed powder from empty pores in selective laser melting Ti-6Al-4V

For the first time, X-ray refraction techniques are proven for the identification of void formation in Ti-6Al-4V parts produced by selective laser melting. The topology and volume fraction of pores are measured in samples produced with different laser energy density. Unique X-ray refraction methods...
