The performance advantages of nano aluminum alloy 3D printing powder mainly include high strength, excellent fatigue resistance, and good processing performance:
High strength: Nano aluminum alloy 3D printing powder can form a high-strength microstructure during the printing process. For example, the yield strength of 7075 aluminum alloy can reach over 480MPa, and the elongation rate is also 7%. This high strength makes nano aluminum alloys perform well in applications that require high stress.
Excellent fatigue resistance: AlSi10Mg alloy manufactured by laser powder bed polymerization (LPBF) technology has excellent fatigue resistance. Research has shown that AlSi10Mg alloy manufactured by LPBF technology has a continuous three-dimensional dual phase honeycomb like nanostructure, which can effectively suppress local damage accumulation and fatigue crack initiation, thereby improving the material's fatigue resistance.
Good processing performance: Nano aluminum alloy 3D printing powder has good processing performance and can adapt to various complex geometric shapes and thin-walled designs. This gives it significant advantages in fields that require lightweight design, such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing, where nano aluminum alloys can reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency.
Wide application areas: Nano aluminum alloy 3D printing powder has been widely used in multiple fields, including aerospace, automotive manufacturing, energy, robotics, and more. For example, Boeing has successfully used 3D printed aluminum alloy components on its Chinook rotary wing aircraft, demonstrating its potential in complex component manufacturing.
