Metal additive manufacturing processes induce residual stress in as-built components. These residual stresses are detrimental to part quality as they can induce defects such as warping and delamination. In some cases, when complex components are built, residual stress can even cause a build job to fail due to the recoater crashing into the distorted part. In this paper, the residual stress values of Ti6Al4V and Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo alloys were evaluated by the cantilever approach and by the X-ray diffraction sin
