摘要

Selective laser melting (SLM) is an advanced additive manufacturing technique that enables the fabrication of complex metal components with high density, precision, and design flexibility. A novel Sc-free Al–4.58Mg–1.17Mn–1.59Zr–1.45Ti alloy was successfully fabricated via SLM, achieving a relative density of ~ 99.89%. The microstructure of the as-fabricated alloy was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, which revealed refined equiaxed grains, a high density of low-angle grain boundaries and dislocation structures, as well as Mg segregation along grain boundaries. Additionally, a variety of dispersed precipitates were identified, including Mg-containing oxides, L12–Al3(Tix, Zr1−x), and Al3Zr particles. Room-temperature tensile tests showed that the alloy exhibits an excellent combination of strength and ductility, with a yield strength of 453.2 ± 12 MPa, an ultimate tensile strength of 515.1 ± 8 MPa, and an elongation of 22.5% ± 0.3%. The high strength was attributed to the combined effects of grain boundary strengthening, solid solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening, and dislocation strengthening. The developed Sc-free Al–Mg–Mn–Zr–Ti alloy demonstrates significant potential as an economical high-strength lightweight material for SLM-based manufacturing applications.
