N2 - Ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) combined with localized laser heating (LA) were implemented to enhance the surface fatigue life of additively repaired Ti-6Al-4V alloy parts in this study. The effect of induced surface severe plastic deformation on microstructure development and grain refinement is analyzed. The results showed that surface metallurgical defects, hardness, residual stress, and roughness were significantly improved after LA-UNSM treatment. As a result of the improved surface textures and higher grain refinement, the fatigue life of the LA-UNSM treated samples was an order of magnitude longer. Surface free of pores and displaying a healthy topography provides evidence.
