Effect of Thermal Exposure Simulating Vapor Deposition on the Impact Behavior of Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg Alloy

Abstract The present work focuses on the evolution of hardness and impact toughness after thermal exposure at high temperatures AlSi10Mg alloy produced by selective laser melting. simulated vapor deposition coatings aluminum alloys. aim is to assess possibility combining ageing step heat treatments treatment. was aged 160 180 °C for up 4 hours, both directly an innovative rapid solution Direct had no significant effects microstructure, showing almost constant trend. These results accord with properties, which showed a negligible difference in direct as-built samples. same performed treatment induced age hardening alloy. values were lower 38% than those positively affected toughness, increased 185% compared material. highlight that can be integrated process. Moreover, suitable components requiring strength coating.
