On the formation of AlSi10Mg single tracks and layers in selective laser melting: Microstructure and nano-mechanical properties (2015)
Journal Article
Aboulkhair, N. T., Maskery, I., Tuck, C., Ashcroft, I., & Everitt, N. M. (2016). On the formation of AlSi10Mg single tracks and layers in selective laser melting: Microstructure and nano-mechanical properties. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 230, 88-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2015.11.016

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a relatively new manufacturing technique that can be used to process a range of materials. Aluminum alloys are potential candidates for SLM but are more difficult to process than the titanium alloys more commonly used...

On the Precipitation Hardening of Selective Laser Melted AlSi10Mg (2015)
Journal Article
Tuck, C., Aboulkhair, N. T., Tuck, C., Ashcroft, I., Maskery, I., & Everitt, N. M. (2015). On the Precipitation Hardening of Selective Laser Melted AlSi10Mg. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A, 46(8), 3337-3341. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11661-015-2980-7

Precipitation hardening of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg was investigated in terms of solution heat treatment and aging duration. The influence on the microstructure and hardness was established, as was the effect on the size and density of Si part...

Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Aboulkhair, N. T., Tuck, C., Maskery, I., Ashcroft, I., & Everitt, N. (2015). Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks. In Industrial Laser Applications Symposium (ILAS 2015). https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2190015

Selective laser melting (SLM) of aluminium alloys faces more challenges than other ongoing alloys such as stainless steels and titanium alloys because of the material’s properties. It is important to study single scan tracks if high density large par... Read More about Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks.

Reducing porosity in AlSi10Mg parts processed by selective laser melting (2014)
Journal Article
