Abstract

Metals fabricated in a powder-bed environment can achieve outstanding mechanical properties. Aluminium-silicon (AlSi) alloys can exhibit an anisotropic behaviour and exhibit inhomogeneities and predetermined sites of fracture in their as-fabricated state. The work at hand provides an overview of the fracture toughness and the fatigue performance of selective laser melted AlSi, including surface treatments and the impact of the irradiation paradigm. In addition, the results of conventional post-heat treatments on selective laser melted material as well as their limitations are discussed.
