Small fatigue crack growth behavior of Ti-6Al-4V produced via selective laser melting: In situ characterization of a 3D crack tip interactions with defects

Small fatigue crack growth (SFCG) behavior is examined for additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V specimens with optimal and trial build conditions (representing an increased degree of defects) through a combination of in situ tomography and in situ energy dispersive X-ray diffraction. The results showed slower crack growth rates for the SFCG samples compared to the long cracks (which was not expected). Finally, in the case of the trial conditions, the increased levels of porosity deterred crack growth by blunting the crack, as evident by the in situ tomography characterization.
