This paper explores the influence of sample thickness and build orientation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of electron beam melting (EBM) additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy and compared to previously published work on SLM-processed material. In particular, the various mechanical properties (tensile yield strength, ultimate tensile strength) were investigated with attempts to correlate with various microstructural features, including lamellae thickness, porosity and the size of prior-beta grains. However, it is shown that the surface exerts a dominant effect on mechanical properties with as-deposited surfaces. These observations provide the possibility for the further improvement of processing/property relations with as-deposited surfaces.
