"Enhancing strength, ductility, and fatigue performance of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-" by Xinpeng Guo, Dingrui Ni et al.
Porosity defects are the main issues faced by aluminum alloys manufactured by wire-arc directed energy deposition (WA-DED), which seriously affect the mechanical properties of WA-DED aluminum alloys, especially the fatigue properties. Thus far, there is still no effective solution for the elimination of porosity in high-strength WA-DED aluminium alloys. In this study, an innovative hybrid WA-DED + interlayer friction stir processing (FSP) method was applied to successfully fabricate thick-walled Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Sc-Zr aluminum alloy component with enhanced strength-ductility and fatigue properties ...
