To establish the benefits of electron beam melting (EBM) for the fabrication of Ti–6Al–4V alloy components, it is necessary to properly understand the fatigue performance of the alloy. In the present study, we investigated the high-cycle fatigue behaviors of EBM-fabricated Ti–6Al–4V alloy component...
