Ultrasonic fatigue testing in as-built and polished Ti6Al4V alloy manufactured by SLM

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has carved a significant leap in mechanical design history, offering an almost infinite geometric freedom. It enables complex geometries with lower weight and enhanced behaviour, like topology optimisation. AM material mechanical properties is under continuous research du...
