A strategy to improve the work-hardening behavior of Ti–6Al–4V parts produced by additive manufacturing
BSTRACTTo improve the mechanical properties of additively manufactured parts
specific heat treatments must be developed. Annealing of electron beam-melted Ti–6Al–4V was performed at sub-transus temperatures and followed by water quenching. Such treatments generate an

′ dual-phase microstructure. Microstructural and mechanical characterizations revealed that the heat-treated specimens show a broad range of tensile properties
depending on the fraction of martensite. The specimens treated between 850°C and 920°C exhibit an increase in strength and ductility
which is related to a remarkable hardening behavior. Work-hardening is attributed to kinematic hardening arising from the mechanical contrast between the
