EBM built parts in a horizontal orientation, particularly with bottom curved surfaces, are prone to variations in dimensional accuracy and defect formation. These defects likely occur due to the nature of the supports ...

Cylindrical Ti-6Al-4V parts were built in vertical and horizontal orientations using electron beam melting. Tensile tests and fatigue tests were carried out. The specimens were tested in as-built and machined conditions ...

Commercially important stainless steels can be austenitic or martensitic and this phase composition fundamentally controls the mechanical properties of the material. With selective laser melting (SLM), 17-4 stainless ...
