Grain growth prediction in selective electron beam melting of Ti-6Al-4V with a cellular automaton method

An integrated modeling framework coupling the discrete element method for powder spreading, finite volume method for powder bed melting, and an extended cellular automaton method for grain structure evolution during solidification is proposed. In this framework, the initial grain structure of both t...
