[{"type":"journal_article","publication":"Materials","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Processing aluminum alloys employing powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) is becoming more attractive for the industry, especially if lightweight applications are needed. Unfortunately, high-strength aluminum alloys such as AA7075 are prone to hot cracking during PBF-LB/M, as well as welding. Both a large solidification range promoted by the alloying elements zinc and copper and a high thermal gradient accompanied with the manufacturing process conditions lead to or favor hot cracking. In the present study, a simple method for modifying the powder surface with titanium carbide nanoparticles (NPs) as a nucleating agent is aimed. The effect on the microstructure with different amounts of the nucleating agent is shown. For the aluminum alloy 7075 with 2.5 ma% titanium carbide nanoparticles, manufactured via PBF-LB/M, crack-free samples with a refined microstructure having no discernible melt pool boundaries and columnar grains are observed. After using a two-step ageing heat treatment, ultimate tensile strengths up to 465 MPa and an 8.9% elongation at break are achieved. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that not all nanoparticles used remain in the melt pool during PBF-LB/M."}],"file":[{"date_updated":"2021-11-29T08:19:19Z","date_created":"2021-11-29T08:19:19Z","creator":"heilands","file_size":2202343,"access_level":"closed","file_name":"2021_Heiland_MDPI Materials_Requirements for Processing High-Strength AlZnMgCu Alloys with PBF-LBM to Achieve Crack-Free and Dense Parts_print.pdf","file_id":"28018","content_type":"application/pdf","success":1,"relation":"main_file"}],"status":"public","_id":"28017","user_id":"77250","department":[{"_id":"9"},{"_id":"158"},{"_id":"219"}],"ddc":["620"],"keyword":["grain refinement","crack reduction","laser beam melting","aluminum alloy","titanium carbide","nanoparticle","PBF-LB/M"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2021-11-29T08:19:19Z","has_accepted_license":"1","year":"2021","citation":{"mla":"Heiland, Steffen, et al. “Requirements for Processing High-Strength AlZnMgCu Alloys with PBF-LB/M to Achieve Crack-Free and Dense Parts.” <i>Materials</i>, 2021, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma14237190\">https://doi.org/10.3390/ma14237190</a>.","bibtex":"@article{Heiland_Milkereit_Hoyer_Zhuravlev_Keßler_Schaper_2021, title={Requirements for Processing High-Strength AlZnMgCu Alloys with PBF-LB/M to Achieve Crack-Free and Dense Parts}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3390/ma14237190\">https://doi.org/10.3390/ma14237190</a>}, journal={Materials}, author={Heiland, Steffen and Milkereit, Benjamin and Hoyer, Kay-Peter and Zhuravlev, Evgeny and Keßler, Olaf and Schaper, Mirko}, year={2021} }","short":"S.
