    | Abstract Scope | Historically, the physical metallurgy of Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been presented through the context of wrought microstructures and the effects of subsequent heat treatments. While rapid solidification microstructures in Ti-6Al-4V are somewhat understood, our understanding of post-processing heat treatments on the microstructural evolution is lacking, given that AM techniques such as laser powder bed fusion (PBF-L) result in bulk material that fully consists of rapidly solidified/martensitic microstructure. This work systematically investigates the effects of 14 high pressure heat treatments on the microstructural evolution of PBF-L Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The time-temperature-transformation behavior of PBF-L Ti-6Al-4V was interrogated through varied temperature, cooling rate, hold time, tempering, and aging temperature. The effects of the post-processing parameters will be related to features such as porosity, grain size, grain morphology, phase fraction, crystallographic texture, and chemistry.
