Article Synopsis
- Electron beam melting (EBM) is an advanced manufacturing technique for metals that minimizes waste and allows complex designs, but it can produce defects that affect material performance.
- The study compares fatigue test results from EBM-produced Ti-6Al-4V specimens with predictive models for crack growth and fatigue life, revealing that currently used models can estimate fatigue performance effectively.
- Utilizing X-ray computed tomography (XCT) data in these models proves to be practical and requires minimal material for calibration, leading to reliable predictions of material longevity.
