Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing porosity in AlSi10Mg parts processed by selective laser melting
TL;DR: In this article, the windows of parameters required to produce high density parts from AlSi10Mg alloy using selective laser melting were investigated and a compromise between the different parameters and scan strategies was achieved and used to produce parts achieving a density of 99.8%.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D printing of Aluminium alloys: Additive Manufacturing of Aluminium alloys using selective laser melting
Nesma T. Aboulkhair,Marco Simonelli,Luke Parry,Ian Ashcroft,Christopher Tuck,Richard J.M. Hague +5 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive understanding of the interrelation between the various aspects of the subject, as this is essential to demonstrate credibility for industrial needs, is presented in this paper, which highlights some key topics requiring attention for further progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the effect of laser scan strategy on residual stress in selective laser melting through thermo-mechanical simulation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a thermo-mechanical model to better understand the effect of laser scan strategy on the generation of residual stress in selective laser melting (SLM).
Journal ArticleDOI
The microstructure and mechanical properties of selectively laser melted AlSi10Mg: The effect of a conventional T6-like heat treatment
TL;DR: In this paper, the nano-, micro-, and macro-scale mechanical properties of selective laser melting (SLM) AlSi10Mg were examined and correlated to the generated microstructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mechanical property evaluation of graded density Al-Si10-Mg lattice structures manufactured by selective laser melting
Ian Maskery,Nesma T. Aboulkhair,Adedeji Aremu,Christopher Tuck,Ian Ashcroft,Ricky D. Wildman,Richard J.M. Hague +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the mechanical behavior of uniform and graded density SLM Al-Si10-Mg lattices under quasistatic loading and determined their effective elastic modulus and Gibson-Ashby coefficients, C1 and α, which can form the basis of new design methodologies for superior components.
