Abstract

AlSi10Mg aluminum alloys are widely used in additive manufacturing (AM) due to their low density, high specific gravity/strength, good castability, and favorable heat properties. Laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) and directed energy deposition (DED) techniques are considered among the most suitable methods for producing parts with complex geometries, near-net shape, and requiring adjustable microstructure properties. This study presents a comprehensive review of high-performance AlSi10Mg alloys produced by additive manufacturing methods. The chapter covers production processes, microstructural properties, heat treatment strategies, mechanical and fatigue behavior, current challenges, and future research trends.

Özet

AlSi10Mg alüminyum alaşımları, düşük yoğunlukları, yüksek özgül ağırlıkları/mukavemetleri, iyi dökülebilirlikleri ve elverişli ısı özellikleri nedeniyle eklemeli imalatta (AM) yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Lazer tabanlı toz yataklı füzyon (LPBF) ve yönlendirilmiş enerji biriktirme (DED) teknikleri, karmaşık geometrilere, neredeyse nihai şekle sahip ve ayarlanabilir mikroyapı özelliklerine ihtiyaç duyan parçaların üretimi için en uygun yöntemler arasında kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışma, eklemeli imalat yöntemleriyle üretilen yüksek performanslı AlSi10Mg alaşımlarının kapsamlı bir incelemesini sunmaktadır. Bölüm, üretim süreçlerini, mikroyapı özelliklerini, ısıl işlem stratejilerini, mekanik ve yorulma davranışını, mevcut zorlukları ve gelecekteki araştırma eğilimlerini kapsamaktadır.
