Review on the Correlation Between Microstructure and Mechanical Performance for Laser Powder Bed Fusion AlSi10Mg

TLDR
In this paper , the authors summarize the recent progresses on the characterization of microstructure, assessment of strengthening and damage mechanisms, evaluation of fracture and fatigue resistance, and attempts to build a primary comprehensive link between mechanical performance and micro-structure for the as built state.
Abstract
As important structural materials widely used in aerospace and automotive industries, aluminum alloys are perfect candidates for development of laser metal additive manufacturing (AM). Amongst AM aluminum alloys, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) AlSi10Mg has received substantial attention due to its good printability and relatively low cost. Great efforts have been devoted to seek optimum process parameters that can enhance mechanical performance. However, a large scattering of material properties arises from the literature data, especially for the as built state, thus casting a shadow over further development of LPBF Al alloys. This review article aims to summarize the recent progresses on the characterization of microstructure, assessment of strengthening and damage mechanisms, evaluation of fracture and fatigue resistance, and attempts to build a primary comprehensive link between mechanical performance and microstructure for the as built state. Following the analysis of the state of the art, the review will finally provide an outlook on additional efforts needed to quantify the microstructure-property relation, based on which maximizing the potential of mechanical performance through optimizing microstructure may be achieved.
