Effect of build geometry on the β-grain structure and texture in additive manufacture of Ti6Al4V by selective electron beam melting

A.A. Antonysamy, J. Meyer, P.B. Prangnell · 27 Jul 2013

With titanium alloys, the solidification conditions in Additive Manufacturing (AM) frequently lead to coarse columnar β-grain structures. The effect of geometry on the variability in the grain structure and texture, seen in Ti6Al4V alloy components produced by Selective Electron Beam Melting (SEBM), has been investigated. Reconstruction of the primary β-phase, from α-phase EBSD data, has…

Materials Characterization template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Materials Characterization format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Materials Characterization template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Materials Characterization use?
Materials Characterization uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Materials Characterization 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Materials Characterization?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Materials Characterization document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Materials Characterization template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Materials Characterization format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Materials Characterization?
Materials Characterization is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Materials Characterization template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Materials Characterization PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Materials Characterization template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Materials Characterization template cost?
You can start writing in the Materials Characterization template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Materials Characterization PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
