    Abstract
    This study documents an investigation of the flow stress properties and microstructural features of Ti6Al4V (ELI) alloy produced using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Selected heat treatment strategies were applied to the material to obtain different microstructures. The influence of quasi-static strain rates and temperature on the obtained microstructures of this material and their strain hardening properties are documented in this study. All microstructures of the alloy formed in this study were found to be sensitive to quasi-static strain rates and temperatures, where their flow stresses increased with increasing strain rate and decreased for tests conducted at elevated temperatures. The strain hardening rates of the fine microstructures were found to be high compared to those of coarse microstructures. The strain hardening rates for the various forms of LPBF Ti6Al4V (ELI) examined here were found to diminish with increasing test temperature. Though the deformed surfaces of the built samples were largely dominated by adiabatic shear bands (ASBs), the absence of ASBs was noted for all samples tested at a temperature of 500 ◦C and an imposed strain of 30%.
