OPTIMIZATION OF POST-PROCESSING HEAT TREATMENT FOR LPBF MODIFIED 2024 ALUMINIUM ALLOY
M. Bona¹, A.M. Grande¹; ¹Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Investigating titanium-modified aluminium 2024 via LPBF through Scheil simulations and SEM analysis to understand the formation of inoculants and classic precipitation. Classic T6 treatment and alternative pathways are explored to improve mechanical properties. Microhardness measurements and as-built vs. post-heat-treatment microstructure analyses enrich understanding of the alloy’s behaviour.
