Abstract:Aluminum alloys are widely used in the fields of national defense construction and aerospace due to its light weight and high strength. Notably, selective laser melting technology (SLM) has great advantages in the manufacture of complex structural parts. In this study, AlMgScZr alloy was prepared by SLM technology, and the process parameters were optimized by the response surface optimization method. The samples with relative density of 99.11%, tensile strength of 333 MPa, yield strength of 282 MPa, elongation of 16% and microhardness of 119.5HV0.05 were achieved. At the same time, the effect of heat treatment on the tensile properties of SLM AlMgScZr samples was studied. It was found that after heat treatment at 350 ℃ for 6 h and then cooling in an argon atmosphere, the tensile strength of the samples increased to 561.9 MPa and the yield strength increased to 546.8 MPa, and the elongation was 5.2%. A high strength aluminum alloy with excellent properties was obtained by optimizing the response surface parameters, which provided a theoretical reference for the application of AlMgScZr alloy prepared by SLM.
