| Abstract Scope |
The recycling of 3xxx series alloys, often used to manufacture beverages, is undergoing high demands to reduce energy and carbon emissions. Screening the effect of composition (e.g., Mn, Fe, Si, etc.) on the mechanical properties is required due to the varied and unpredictable compositions of recycled alloys. We demonstrate a case study of using a newly established high-throughput approach to establish the composition-property relationship of Al-Mn-Fe-Si-Cu alloys quickly, involving combinatorial alloy synthesis by laser direct energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing (AM) and small-scale rolling. The study focuses on the effects of Mn, Fe, and Si on the evolution of particles, recrystallization, and hardness. The results reflected the similar behavior of DED alloys as Cast counterparts in terms of microstructure and mechanical properties. This project suggests that the proposed high-throughput method can develop a valid dataset to support the material screening and phenomenological/mechanistic study for 3xxx series alloys. |
