研究目的
To investigate the directed energy deposition (DED) of wrought-like Al 5xxx AlMg alloy by Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS?), focusing on the transition in chemistry from an Al 5083 powder to one closer to Al 5754 in the as-deposited material, and to evaluate the microstructure, porosity, density, and mechanical behavior of the deposited material.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated DED of wrought-like Al 5xxx alloy by LENS?, achieving a transition in chemistry from Al 5083 to Al 5754 characteristics due to selective evaporation of Mg. The as-deposited material showed high relative density and mechanical properties meeting international standards for wrought Al 5754-O. The research provides a foundation for further exploration into AM of Al 5xxx alloys by DED.
研究不足
The study acknowledges challenges in processing high-quality structural Al alloys by DED, including high surface reflectivity and thermal conductivity of Al, selective evaporation of alloying elements, and porosity formation. The research also notes the need for further optimization of processing parameters to achieve near full density.
