| Abstract Scope |
In aeronautic applications, overloads can damage parts and lead to their replacement. Self-healing materials, i.e. with the ability to repair internal damage, could increase the part’s lifetime. While polymer-based systems have dominated the field of self-healing materials, self-healing of metals remains an important challenge because of the slow diffusion at room temperature.
In this research, two healable aluminum alloys produced by L-PBF are developed based on:
- diffusion of healing agents towards the free surfaces of the damage voids during heat treatment;
- melting of an eutectic phase which flows towards the damage.
The healability of these two strategies was studied on damaged specimens using in-situ heating coupled with X-ray nanoholotomography at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). This 4D nano-imaging highlighted the progressive filling of the damage sites, allowing to optimise the healing temperature and showing the potential of these two healable aluminum alloys. |
