  Abstract: Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a cost-effective technique for fabricating components from the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, known for its high strength and utility in demanding applications. To maximize its strength, the alloy undergoes Solution Treating and Aging heat treatment, comprising three key steps: (i) Solution Treating: The alloy is heated to 950°C (just below the β transus) and held for 1 hour, increasing the β phase proportion. This step sets …
