The effects of pulsed gas tungsten arc welding parameters on the morphology of additive layer manufactured Ti6Al4V has been investigated in this study. The peak/base current ratio and pulse frequency are found to have no significant effect on the refinement of prior beta grain size. However, it is found that the wire feed rate has a considerable effect on the prior beta grain refinement at a given heat input. This is due to the extra wire input being able to supply many heterogeneous nucleation sites and also results in a negative temperature gradient in the front of the liquidus which blocks the columnar growth and changes the columnar growth to equiaixal growth.
