Electron beam melting (EBM) is a trending metal additive manufacturing process for industrial applications in the field of biomedical and aerospace engineering. In this study, experimental investigations were conducted to reveal the effect of processing conditions on the microstructure and hardness properties of EBM-fabricated nickel-titanium components. Furthermore, detailed microstructural characterizations were performed with a scanning electron microscope, EDS, and XRD for unveiling of the microscopic structure and phase analysis during the layer by layer solidification. The experimental results were systematically evaluated for the powder and the bulk prismatic components, respectively.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAdditive ManufacturingElectron Beam MeltingNickel-Titanium Shape Memory AlloyMicrostructuresNitiMicrostructureBehaviorLatticeArticle3673Q335762WOS:000672433000012Q4
