In this work, the fatigue behaviour of Ti6Al4V manufactured using electron beam melting, its dependency on porosity, distance from the base plate and build layer height were investigated. XCT scans of the fatigue sample gauge lengths were correlated to SEM investigations of the fracture surfaces. A comparison between the top and bottom halves of the builds in terms of defect population and fatigue behaviour was also made. Larger pores were detected in samples with a larger build layer height and lower position in the build chamber. Results also indicate that part geometry and pore location, specifically closeness to the surface, are important factors regarding the initiation location of fatigue fractures at 1 % strain. Furthermore, a fatigue critical lack of fusion defect was undetectable in the XCT scan.
