AlSi10Mg has been used to create a wide variety of aluminium additive manufacturing parts for a number of purposes, and it is now the most widely used grade of aluminium alloy powder in the metal AM sector.
Low melting point casting alloys have been employed for the majority of studies on aluminium additive manufacturing.wrought alloys 6061 and 7075 are used.
A number of exceptional qualities, including ductility, machinability, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance, are included in the 6000 series alloy powders. It is one of the most often used alloys for producing parts for the electrical, electronic, and other sectors because of these qualities.
The high zinc content 7000 series alloy powders are renowned for having good mechanical qualities and can be heat treated to increase strength even more.
Powder characteristics will become more crucial when metal additive manufacturing moves its emphasis from prototype to manufacturing. Standard chemistries may make it simpler to produce aluminium alloy powder grades for the additive manufacturing (AM) industry, but the particle size distribution of the powder must be customised for the component manufacturing process.
The Global aluminium powders for additive manufacturing market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Constellium has created two brand-new aluminium alloys for additive manufacturing that are especially made for laser powder bed additive manufacturing.
These alloys have better characteristics, higher ALM productivity, and easier post-process heat treatment.The alloy most suited for additive manufacturing is Aheadd HT1 for uses requiring high strength and service temperatures up to about 250°C.
Due to its high thermal stability, it is a great replacement for some titanium or steel additive manufacturing applications that aim to lighten and cheaper component weight. Additional benefits could result from aluminium’s better thermal conductivity than titanium.
