Surface Topography Modification of Additive Manufactured Ti6Al4V and AlSi10Mg Alloys under Argon Cluster Ion Irradiation
摘要
This study explores the potential for controlled surface topography modification of additively manufactured Ti6Al4V and AlSi10Mg alloys through 10 keV argon gas cluster ion irradiation. The effect of the ion incidence angle on the resulting surface morphology is examined. Under normal incidence, cluster ion irradiation reduces surface roughness from 6.2 to 0.89 nm for Ti6Al4V and from 16.8 to 4.27 nm for AlSi10Mg (as measured by atomic force microscopy over a
