Abstract Scope |
Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (EB-PBF) is a promising additive manufacturing technique for producing high-quality metal components. Recently, traditional scanning methods in EB-PBF, like linescan, Dehoff scan, and random spot scan, have been studied and lead to predictable microstructures. This study introduces a novel “island spot scanning” method to investigate its impact on the microstructural texture of Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) samples. The as-printed top surface, polished transverse, and polished longitudinal samples are characterized via SEM and EBSD. Significantly different microstructures are discovered, indicating a novel influence of the island scanning approach on the material properties. |
