The Influence of Technological Parameters on the Structure and Properties of the Al-Cu-Mg-Si Alloy Obtained Using Selective Laser Melting

Monolith and bulk-structured samples of different densities have been obtained using selective laser melting on a Realizer SLM 100 3D-printer intended for metals. Their quality and structure have been estimated via metallography and scanning electron microscopy. The correlation has been established between the parameters of synthesis, namely, between the intertrack distance and layer thickness at a laser power of 200 W, on the one hand, and structural characteristics, on the other. Based on the experimental results, the optimum operating parameters of a 3D-printer were found to obtain the Al-Cu-Mg-Si samples with dispersed structure and high mechanical properties. The features of the synthesis of bulk-structured samples with cubic geometry of plotting have been studied, and the types of defects that affect the quality and mechanical properties of samples have been determined.
