Fatigue failures could theoretically be more probable on stress-raisers around oxide inclusions. However, most modern DMLS have achieved better than >99.5% build density in an inert atmosphere, and better controlled annealing. =) The more exotic experimental processes intended for hobbyists will likely overtake industry in the next year... ;-)
