Fracture mechanics based fatigue and fracture toughness evaluation of SLM Ti-6Al-4V

The focus of this research project was to determine experimentally the fatigue and fracture toughness characteristic, from a fracture mechanics perspective, of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy manufactured by Selective Laser Melting (SLM). Three build orientations are considered where a fatigue crack is gro...
