Microstructure and mechanical properties of selective laser melted Mg-9 wt%Al powder mixture

•Mg-Al alloy was additively manufactured by SLM of Mg-9 wt%Al powder mixture.•SLMed Mg-9 wt%Al powder mixture had similar strength as SLMed pre-alloyed powder.•The highest relative density achieved was 95.7%.•Microstructure of the SLMed parts can be optimized by tuning the SLM parameters.
