The additive manufacture (AM) of the AlSi10Mg alloy has become the subject of considerable attention, especially for production of complex parts in engines. Because such parts can be exposed to elevated temperatures during operation, material stability is very important, but as yet little is known about it in relation to AM. Here, we studied changes of the AlSi10Mg alloy produced by selective laser melting (SLM) after its exposure to temperatures between 120 and 180 degrees C. At each temperature, hardness evolution was measured, with hardness increasing over time. The maximum hardness state obtained at 160 degrees C was selected for further studies comprising microstructural analysis by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, chemical composition analysis and mechanical properties assessment. Transmission microscopy revealed nano-scale acicular precipitates that caused a slight increase in the yield strength of the alloy together with a significant drop in elongation. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed that the precipitates surprisingly consisted of pure Si. To provide a comparison, conventional regimes of heat treatment (stress-relief and T6) were applied. Despite a considerable loss in mechanical performance, thermal instability was no longer observed. Overall, our results indicate that operating temperatures are a key factor in ensuring the smooth operation
