Achieving ultrahigh fatigue resistance in AlSi10Mg alloy by additive manufacturing
Nature materials(2023)
摘要
Since the first discovery of the fatigue phenomenon in the late 1830s, efforts to fight against fatigue failure have continued. Here we report a fatigue resistance phenomenon in nano-TiB 2 -decorated AlSi10Mg enabled by additive manufacturing. This fatigue resistance mechanism benefits from the three-dimensional dual-phase cellular nanostructure, which acts as a strong volumetric nanocage to prevent localized damage accumulation, thus inhibiting fatigue crack initiation. The intrinsic fatigue strength limit of nano-TiB 2 -decorated AlSi10Mg was proven to be close to its tensile strength through the in situ fatigue tests of a defect-free microsample. To demonstrate the practical applicability of this mechanism, printed bulk nano-TiB 2 -decorated AlSi10Mg achieved fatigue resistance more than double those of other additive manufacturing Al alloys and surpassed those of high-strength wrought Al alloys. This strategy of additive-manufacturing-assisted nanostructure engineering can be extended to the development of other dual-phase fatigue-resistant metals.
