Purpose
This paper aims to generate a review of available techniques to measure Residual Stress (RS) in Ti6Al4V components made by Ti6Al4V.
Design/methodology/approach
State of the art; literature review in the field of Residual Stress measurement of Ti6Al4V parts made by selective laser melting (SLM).
Findings
Different Residual Stress measurement techniques were detailed, regarding its concept, advantages and limitations. Regarding all researched references, hole drilling (semi destructive) and X-ray diffraction (nondestructive) were the most cited techniques for Residual Stress measurement of Ti6Al4V parts made by SLM.
Originality/value
An extensive analysis of RS measurement techniques for Ti6Al4V parts made by SLM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
