| Abstract Scope |
Laser deposition (LD) of Al alloys with applications as light-weight auto components has been developed as a high-throughput fabrication method. Particular attention has been paid to microstructure development in a LD alloy to simulate the microstructure obtained via conventional casting processes and thereby screen alloys based on property trends. A case study will be presented to rapidly identify an alloy composition which can provide an electrical conductivity of 50% IACS, a 40% increase compared to the control alloy. LD was used to fabricate 30 compositions, which were rolled and heat-treated to down select the promising compositions. To obtain a mechanistic understanding, the microstructural features controlling the electrical conductivity were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy. |
