“This study established a platform of three mechanistic models to understand the predictability of yield strength (YS) for Ti-6Al-4V deposits developed by laser wire deposition (LWD). Eight single-bead, multi-layer Ti-6Al-4V deposits were fabricated by LWD with four travel speeds for subsequent... Read more..
