Microstructure and mechanical properties of an advanced Ag-microalloyed aluminum crossover alloy tailored for wire-arc directed energy deposition

The implementation of wire-arc directed energy deposition requires the development of novel, process-adapted, high-performance aluminum alloys. Conventional high-strength alloys are, however, difficult to process as they are prone to hot-cracking. Crossover alloys based on Al-Mg-Zn combine good proc...

description The implementation of wire-arc directed energy deposition requires the development of novel, process-adapted, high-performance aluminum alloys.
