Observations on comparable aluminium alloy crack growth curves: Additively manufactured Scalmalloy® as an alternative to AA5754 and AA6061-T6 alloys?

Rhys Jones et al.

Summary: Scalmalloy (R) is proposed as a replacement alloy for additive manufacturing in aircraft and satellite applications. Its crack growth curve is found to be similar to commonly used aluminium alloys in automotive and maritime industries. Further testing is required to validate the predicted results.

A comparative investigation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of additively manufactured aluminum alloys

Muztahid Muhammad et al.

Summary: This study characterizes the microstructure and mechanical properties of various aluminum alloys fabricated through additive manufacturing, finding that LB-PBF Scalmalloy exhibits the highest strength and fatigue resistance. Surface micro-notches and volumetric defects are identified as the primary sources of fatigue crack initiation in the investigated alloys.

Describing crack growth in additively manufactured Scalmalloy

Rhys Jones et al.

Summary: This study investigates crack growth in AM Scalmalloy (R) and demonstrates that the curves essentially collapse onto a single curve associated with the growth of cracks in aluminum alloy AA7075-T7351, potentially simplifying the process for determining upper bound growth curves required for the certification of AM space parts in NASA HDBK-5010.
