Abstract: Despite the significant application potential of laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) processed Ti-6Al-4V components, a detailed understanding of their deformation mechanisms remains limited. This study investigates the deformation behavior of the {α^\prime} and α phases in the as-built and heat-treated specimens, respectively, using in-situ high-energy X-ray diffraction (HEXRD) combined with crystal plasticity modeling. Both phases exhibited similar elastic anisotropy, with the highest modulus along \{00.2\} and the lowest along \{10.0\}, although the α phase consistently showed higher directional moduli than the {α^\prime} phase. Their plastic deformation responses differed markedly: in the as-built {α^\prime} phase, slip activation followed the sequence prismatic \rightarrow basal \rightarrow pyramidal I \langle c+a \rangle, whereas in the heat-treated α phase, the sequence was basal \rightarrow prismatic \rightarrow pyramidal I \langle c+a \rangle. Analyses of full width at half maximum (FWHM) and diffraction peak intensities further supported these observations. Finally, inverse modeling within a crystal plasticity framework was employed to determine slip family--specific critical resolved shear stresses (CRSS), revealing higher CRSS values in the {α^\prime} phase for all slip systems except the prismatic family.
