Alloying AlSi10Mg and Cu powders in laser Single Scan Tracks, melt spinning, and Laser Powder Bed Fusion

摘要

The material palette available for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process is still limited. The mixing of different powders, here AlSi10Mg + Cu, and alloy synthesis by Single Scan Tracks (SSTs) and Melt Spinning (MS) were performed in this work for fast testing the new composition and reducing the building time and amount of powder employed. Then LPBF massive samples were manufactured to verify the outcome of the procedure.
