a Characterization of the microstructure of the alloy Ti-185 as-built using Directed Energy Deposition (LENS™). b Characterization of the microstructure of the alloy Ti-64 + 5Fe as-built using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). Note that both alloys exhibit equiaxed microstructures following AM processing.
