Abstract
The composition Al-16Ce-1Mg has been developed as a dedicated alloy for processing by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Guided by thermodynamic considerations and exploiting the unique conditions during LPBF, the strongly hypereutectic alloy features nm-scale aluminum dendrites reinforced by a continuous intermetallic network. The unique temperature stability of Al-Ce alloys as well as the microstructure topology and scale grant the alloy high strength in as-printed state with excellent thermal stability. The superior mechanical properties of the continuously reinforced nanocomposite were established by comparison with the spheroidized, microstructure of similar scale.
期刊介绍:
Materials and Design is a multi-disciplinary journal that publishes original research reports, review articles, and express communications. The journal focuses on studying the structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advancements in synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing, the design of materials and engineering systems, and their applications in technology. It aims to bring together various aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry.
The journal explores themes ranging from materials to design and aims to reveal the connections between natural and artificial materials, as well as experiment and modeling. Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design should contain elements of discovery and surprise, as they often contribute new insights into the architecture and function of matter.
