Abstract

Nanostructured Al-9%Si-3%Cu alloy was achieved by direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and then processed using high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing, which resulted in considerable grain refinement down to 60 nm associated with a substantial dislocation density up 6.2×1014m-2 and a significant reduction in the porosity. Hardness measurements across the horizontal and vertical cross-sections showed an improvement in the strength homogeneity for processed samples after 10 turns of HPT processing. These results indicate that a controllable ultrafinegrained microstructure can be achieved by employing additive manufacturing, followed by effective severe plastic deformation processing.
