Verifying HIP uniformity in additively manufactured Ti-6AL-4V through automated microhardness mapping

Additive manufacturing has transformed titanium alloy production, but ensuring consistent mechanical properties post-printing remains a challenge, especially with Ti-6Al-4V and its reliance on Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP).

Discover how advanced indentation mapping techniques help verify uniformity across every layer, offering materials scientists a clearer understanding of how processing impacts performance.
