3D Printing Aluminum Alloys

October 11, 2018

For metallic 3D printing, the selective laser melting (SLM) method is typically used to produce Al alloys. AlSi10Mg alloys made with SLM technology, however, must set up different post-printing treatments.

Preparation and Methods for Grain Size Measurements

By analyzing the grain structure of metallographic samples, we can make accurate predictions about their mechanical properties. Smaller grain size means that the metal is less prone to plastic flow, while larger grains cause the metal to become more ductile. Larger grains will cause a decrease in both tensile and yield strength, and increase the metal’s percent elongation.
