Underwater additive manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by laser metal deposition: Formability, gran growth and microstructure evolution

No underwater laser additive manufacturing technology has been reported. In this paper, the underwater thin-walled Ti-6Al-4V part was built firstly by underwater laser metal deposition (ULMD), and the formability, grain growth and microstructure transformation were investigated. The stable local dry...
