An ultrafine grained Al-Mg-Sc-Mn-Zr alloy fabricated by L-PBF showed improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance through optimized annealing heat treatment, mainly attributed to the formation of sub-nano sized Al-3(Sc, Zr) precipitates.
An ultrafine grained Al-Mg-Sc-Mn-Zr alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) was prepared to investigate the effect of different annealing heat treatments on the mechanical properties and corrosion behaviors. The results show that the optimized heat treatment is determined to be annealing at 300 degrees C for 2 h, which achieves highest hardness (142 HV) and best corrosion resistance (6.2 mu A/cm(2)) simultaneously. The improvement of the mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance is mainly attributed to the precipitation of the secondary Al-3(Sc, Zr) precipitates with sub-nano size. Moreover, the size of the nanoscale Al-3(Sc, Zr) precipitates and the micropores also play a role in the corrosion resistance of the L-PBF Al-Mg-Sc-Mn-Zr alloy
