We teamed up with xBeam 3D Metal Printing (https://xbeam3d.com/) to characterise Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) parts 3D printed using wire and a conical electron beam. In this video, I analyse the β-grain structures of the xBeam test parts, built with 3 different deposition strategies, and present a post-build heat treatment trial to demonstrate that the xBeam process can replicate wrought titanium aerospace parts.
