Effect of Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Medical-Grade ELI Ti64 Alloy Additively Manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Medical-grade extra-low-interstitial Ti64 alloy (ELI Ti64) is a promising material for biomedical implants, and additive manufacturing facilitates the fabrication of complex implant geometries. However, additively manufactured ELI Ti64 typically exhibits insufficient ductility, necessitating heat treatment to tailor it...
