Abstract
Recent investigations revealed major fluctuations in the material properties of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg, which corresponded with the varying precipitation-hardening state of the microstructure, caused by the differing dwell times at elevated temperatures. It was indicated that a subsequent heat treatment balances the age-hardening and results in a homogenized material strength. In order to further investigate this statement selective laser melted AlSi10Mg samples were subject to multiple post-heat-treatments. Subsequently, the surface hardness and tensile strength was determined and compared with the as-built results. The post-heat-treatment led to an arbitrary occurrence of rupture, indicating a successful homogenization, coupled with a remarkable improvement in ductility, but to the costs of a lowered tensile strength, which was highly dependent on the chosen heat-treatment procedure.
