Optimisation of the Heat Treatment Profile for Powder-Bed Fusion Built AlSi10Mg by Age Hardening and Ice-Water Quenching

During powder-bed fusion (PBF), the irradiated material causes undesirable thermal stresses while experiencing large temperature oscillations over a rapid period. This requires the components produced by this technique to undergo thermal treatment. The characteristics of additively manufactured mate...
