Description

<p>The mechanical properties of JISAC8A alloys (Al-12%Si-1%Mg-1%Ni-1%Cu alloy) fabricated by laser-based powder bed fusion (LB) or electron-based powder bed fusion (EB) or gravity casting (CAST) were studied by means of tensile tests at room temperature and 300°C. These alloys were under two types of heat-treatment sequences. One was a T6 treatment, which was corresponding to the heat treatment at 500°C for 2h and 170°C for 4 h, followed by the annealing at 300°C for 10 h. Another was directly annealed at 300°C for 10 h after the fabrication. In the annealed specimens without T6 treatment, the LB alloy showed the highest strength and best elongation at room temperature and 300°C, because eutectic Si particles and Al-Ni-Cu-Fe compounds formed very fine network structure in Al matrix. In the annealed specimens with T6 treatment, the tensile strength at room temperature did not depend on the fabrication methods but the LB alloy showed the best elongation because of finer and isotropic shape of secondary phase particles. The annealed CAST alloy showed the highest strength at 300°C, and the annealed LB alloy showed the lowest strength at 300°C.</p>
