ALUMINUM-COPPER-MANGANESE-ZIRCONIUM ALLOYS FOR METAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Aluminum-copper-manganese-zirconium alloys for metal additive manufacturing include 5 wt % to 35 wt % copper, 0.05 wt % to 3 wt % manganese, 0.5 wt % to 5 wt % zirconium, 0 wt % to 3 wt % iron, and 0 wt % to less than 1 wt % silicon, with the balance being aluminum. The as-printed alloys may have a...

Zusammenfassung: | Aluminum-copper-manganese-zirconium alloys for metal additive manufacturing include 5 wt % to 35 wt % copper, 0.05 wt % to 3 wt % manganese, 0.5 wt % to 5 wt % zirconium, 0 wt % to 3 wt % iron, and 0 wt % to less than 1 wt % silicon, with the balance being aluminum. The as-printed alloys may have a microstructure comprising θ′ intermetallic precipitates having an average diameter of 0.1 μm to 0.3 μm, a microstructure comprising θ intermetallic particles having particle spacing of 50-500 nm with a volume fraction of 0-50%; a microstructure comprising a bimodal distribution of equiaxed grains and columnar grains, or any combination thereof. The as-printed alloys may exhibit superior mechanical properties compared to cast alloys with a similar composition. |
