Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

A part of a filtering and cooling module is designed and produced by the method of selective laser melting of powder aluminum alloy AlSi10Mg. The initial powder material is certified with respect to the particle shape and granulometric composition. The mechanical properties and the microstructure of the material of the part are studied.
