Impacts of Defocusing Amount and Molten Pool Boundaries on Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Selective Laser Melted AlSi10Mg
摘要： The influences of processing parameters such as volumetric energy density (ε) and, particularly, defocusing amount (DA) on densification, microstructure, tensile property, and hardness of the as-printed dense AlSi10Mg alloy by selective laser melting (SLM) were studied systematically. The molten pool boundaries (MPBs) were found overwhelmingly at regular and complex spatial topological structures affected by DA value to exist in two forms, while the “layer–layer” MPB overlay mutually and the “track–track” MPBs intersect to form acute angles with each other. The microstructure of MPBs exhibits a coarse grain zone near the MPBs and the characteristics of segregation of nonmetallic elements (O, Si) where the crack easily happened. The DA value (?2 to 2 mm) affected both the density and the tensile mechanical properties. High tensile strength (456 ± 14 MPa) and good tensile ductility (9.5 ± 1.4%) were achieved in the as-printed condition corresponding to DA = 0.5 mm. The tensile fracture surface features were analyzed and correlated to the influence of the DA values.

Directed energy deposition of Al 5xxx alloy using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS??)
摘要： Here, we present directed energy deposition (DED) of wrought-like Al 5xxx AlMg alloy by Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS?). A transition from an Al 5083 gas atomized powder feedstock to Al 5754 characteristics of the as-deposited material due to selective evaporation of Mg was observed. Density values obtained by X-ray micro-computed tomography (μ-CT) were compared to those obtained by the Archimedes method. The latter indicated a relative density as high as 99.26%. Possible origins of porosity are discussed. The as-deposited material was comprised of both equiaxed and columnar grains with no preferred crystallographic orientation and mean grain size of 36 μm. The Young's modulus, yield stress, ultimate tensile strength, fracture strain, Poisson's ratio, and total ultimate strain energy (toughness) were determined by uniaxial tensile tests combined with digital image correlation (DIC). Fractography complemented the mechanical testing. A pulse-echo ultrasonic non-destructive test was used to obtain more accurate values of the Young's and shear moduli and to adjust the value of the yield strength accordingly. The measured mechanical properties meet the requirements of international standards for wrought Al 5754 in its annealed condition.

The relation between magnesium evaporation and laser absorption and weld penetration in pulsed laser welding of aluminum alloys: Experimental and numerical investigations
摘要： It is observed that in laser welding of aluminum alloys, magnesium can evaporate, and the weld penetration is dependent on Mg content of the alloy and Mg loss from the weld pool. In this research, it is proposed that the presence of Mg not in the base metal alloy, but rather the presence of Mg vapor in the plasma plume over the weld pool affects the laser absorption, and it is through this phenomenon that the weld profile and penetration is affected. Numerical simulation was performed to determine the relationship between the weld profile to estimate the effective laser absorption coefficient of four Al alloys and in parallel EPMA technique was used to determine the Mg losses of the weld metals. The combined analysis of the results showed that increasing the laser pulse energy (decreasing laser pulse frequency), Mg evaporation is increased, and that, in turn, increased the effective laser absorption coefficient. However, more laser power absorption does not necessarily mean more weld penetration. Laser absorption results in weld penetration, once the threshold Mg evaporation rate of 200 × ?10 6g/cm2 is passed.

Effect of adherend deflection on lap-shear tensile strength of laser-treated adhesive-bonded joints
摘要： Laser surface treatment was used as a surface preparation method for adherend prior to adhesive bonding, which significantly improved the fracture mode from mixed to cohesive and consequently increased the lap-shear tensile strength by 27.5% and 28.2% for aluminum alloys AA7075 and AA6022 adhesive-bonded joints, respectively. Nevertheless, the laser-treated AA7075 joint exhibited a ~14% higher strength compared to laser-treated AA6022 joint although both joints showed cohesive fracture modes, which was attributed to smaller adherend deflection of laser-treated AA7075 joint than that of laser-treated AA6022 joint. Digital image correlation technique was applied to monitoring the deflections of laser-treated AA7075 and AA6022 joints during lap-shear tensile testing, and the stress analysis of adhesive-bonded lap-shear joints was conducted by finite element simulation. It was found that the deflection angle of the laser-treated AA6022 joint reached to 6.1° at the peak tensile load and was ~69% larger than that of laser-treated AA7075 joint (i.e. 3.6°), which resulted in a mixed stress state with higher peel stress (i.e. ~8 MPa) on edges of adhesive bonding region and consequently led to a premature fracture due to the low peel resistance of adhesive-bonded joints. Furthermore, the effect of decreased adherend deflection on lap-shear tensile strength was investigated, and a linear increase of lap-shear tensile strength was found with the decrease of deflection angle for adhesive-bonded joints showing cohesive fracture modes.

Modulation of the local grain structure in laser beam welds to inhibit the propagation of centerline hot cracks
摘要： The morphology and the size of the grains of a weld result from the solidification rate and the temperature gradient during solidification. The heat input and the velocity of the welding process directly affect these quantities. The laser power, the welding velocity and the beam diameter were periodically modulated to achieve a periodical change of the solidification conditions during welding. It leads to a continuous change of the type of grain structure over the welded length. The metallographic analysis of welds in close edge position shows the periodical interruption of centerline cracks at local changes of the grain structure.

Pore Closure Effect of Laser Shock Peening of Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg
摘要： This article reports on an exceptional insight provided by nondestructive X-ray tomography of the same samples before and after laser shock peening (LSP). The porosity in two additively manufactured aluminum alloy (AlSi10Mg) tensile samples before and after LSP was imaged using identical X-ray tomography settings and overlap of the data was performed for direct comparison. The results indicate clearly that near-surface pores are closed by the process, while internal pores remain unaffected. LSP has become well known as a method to improve the fatigue properties of materials, including those of additively manufactured aluminum alloys. This improvement is usually attributed to the compressive residual stress induced by the process. The additional effect of closure of near-surface pores that is illustrated in this work is of interest for additive manufacturing because additive manufacturing is not yet able to produce completely pore-free components. Since the critical pore initiating fatigue cracks are always attributed to surface or subsurface pores, the closure of these pores may play an additional role in improving the fatigue properties. While more work remains to unravel the relative importance of near-surface porosity compared to the compressive residual stress effect, this work clearly shows the effect of LSP—closing of pores near the surface. For the processing conditions demonstrated here, all pores up to 0.7 mm from the surface are closed without damaging the surface, while higher peening power results in surface damage.
