Aluminum alloys – strong, tough, and lightweight – are desirable materials for aerospace, marine, and defense applications. When processed using laser powder bed fusion, however, these alloys have a tendency to crack and distort.
To mitigate this problem, EWI recently tested blending AA7075 with AlSi10Mg powder. The results show great promise for successful laser additive manufacturing processing.
