I look forward to Avio supplying build parameters when stacking. It looks to me like it's well known in the metallurgy community that the mechanical properties of AM produced Ti-6Al-4V are anisotropic. In this first link they mention "directed energy deposition additive manufacturing (AM) process," which may or may not be electron beam deposition. You have to pay to get the full article but enough is here to get the point across. I've also seen remarks on anisotropic properties embedded in many other papers where electron beam methods were used. I just couldn't quickly find those just now.
