High Frequency Vibration Fatigue Behavior of Ti6Al4V Fabricated by Wire-Fed Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing Technology

<div>Microphotographs showing (a) the fatigue crack path in a representative wire-fed EBAM Ti6Al4V specimen from (b) initiation on the surface in the region of the fatigue zone at <i>α</i>-colonies to progression by growth and propagation along the <i>α</i>-colony boundaries and through the <i>α</i>-colonies of lamellae, which manifested as (c) a deviating crack exhibiting high tortuosity.</div>
