We first successfully achieved the two types of distinct texture control in low-modulus beta-type Ti–15Mo–5Zr–3Al alloy products using selective laser melting. Bidirectional scanning with and without a rotation 90° between layers gave rise to different textures preferential orientations 〈001〉 〈011〉 along building direction, respectively. Control growth behavior columnar cells melt pools via strategies enabled generation such textures. The obtained material exhibits low Young's modulus 68.7 ±...
