Structure and Mechanical Properties of a Selective Laser Melted Al–6.7Mg–0.3Sc–0.25Zr Alloy
摘要
Abstract—The structure and mechanical properties (under static and fatigue loading) of Al–6.7Mg–0.3Sc–0.25Zr alloy samples synthesized by selective laser melting (SLM) horizontally and vertically relative to a build platform and subsequently aged at 360°C for 5 h are studied. The density of the synthesized samples is found to be maximal (99.88%) at a laser power of 800 W and a scanning speed of 1500 mm/s. The mechanical properties of such samples are almost independent of the build direction and are as follows: the ultimate tensile strength is σu = 420–430 MPa; the relative elongation, δ = 5–8%; and the fatigue limit, σR = 130–140 MPa.
