Deep-powder-bed additive manufacturing (AM) can lead to distinctive microstructural features. In this study, 300-mm long cylindrical rods (12-mm diameter) of Ti-6Al-4V were vertically built to the limit height of a commercial selective electron beam melting (SEBM) system for quantitative three-dimensional (3D) characterization of the defects by X-ray micro-computed tomography (mu-CT). Detailed mu-CT data from 18,337 consecutive slices revealed a strong dependence of defect characteristics on build height, including defect volume, population, sphericity, major axis length, depth and orientation angle. The first 100-mm build exhibited the worst presence of defects by each measurement, while the middle and last 100-mm builds contained much fewer defects, especially the last 100-mm build, which was free of lack-of-fusion defects (sphericity < 0.5). As a result, the first 100-mm build displayed 50% lower reduction of area and 20% lower strain-to-fracture than the last 100-mm build, while the tensile strengths varied within just +/- 3%. An outer 3-mm thick ring and a central 1.5-mm diameter region were found to contain substantially less defects along the 300-mm build height. The dependence of defect features on build height was attributed to the existence of an upward temperature gradient during SEBM. The 3D defect features revealed by mu-CT along the build height provide important implications for deep-powder-bed AM by SEBM.
