Comparison of Ti-6Al-4V solid, cylindrical component microstructures. (a) EBM (z) component α-phase (acicular) plates. (b) EBM (x, y) component fine α + β structure. (c) α + α′ martensite structure for mesh component as in Figure 8(b). Corresponding Vickers microindentation hardness values are (a) 3.5 GPa; (b) 4.1 GPa; (c) 4.5 GPa.
