Aluminum Alloys for Additive Technologies

  • ALUMINUM ALLOYS
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The article considers the possibility of using aluminum alloys for manufacturing parts using additive technologies. One of the problems hindering the development of additive technologies is the problem of selecting aluminum alloys with high adaptability to additive manufacturing and high operating properties. Based on the experience gained in the development of granulated aluminum alloys, it is proposed to use aluminum alloys alloyed with transition metals (such as Mn, Cr, Zr, V, Tl, Fe, etc.) in additive manufacturing. These alloys are expected to meet the requirements of additive manufacturing and ensure high mechanical, corrosion and physical properties.The article considers the possibility of using aluminum alloys for manufacturing parts using additive technologies.
