The microstructure of the as-built specimen shows ultra-fine grain boundaries whereas the heat-treated specimen showing homogenous and coarsened microstructure. The ultimate tensile strength for the as-built specimen is 392 MPa whilst the heat-treated (T6) specimen is recorded at 287 MPa. The heat-treated specimen exhibiting a significant improvement in fatigue life in all range of stresses compared to as-built during fatigue testing. Hence, the heat-treatment does improve the material characteristics as well as the fatigue behaviour.
