| Abstract Scope |
The ability to 3D print aluminum alloys is an area of high interest due to the wide use of aluminum in the aerospace, automotive, and engineering industries. This range of applications requires an equally broad array of material properties that can be achieved through the various series of aluminum alloys. Grain refiners have been previously shown to be a viable technique for printing crack-free, high-strength aluminum 7075. This talk will focus on this technique’s successfully application to 2xxx series, high temperature aluminum alloys. This work demonstrates the success of grain refiners in printing both high strength and high temperature alloys, with a specific focus on the achieved mechanical properties. Attention is also paid to the expansion of the design space around aluminum alloy 3D printing made possible by this technology including lower cost alloys and alloys designed specifically for additive manufacturing. |
