Influence of Annealing on Mechanical Properties of Al-20Si Processed by Selective Laser Melting

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-20Si produced by selective laser melting (SLM) are investigated for different heat treatment conditions. As a result of the high cooling rate during processing, the as-built SLM material displays a microstructure consisting of a supersaturated Al(Si...
