Abstract:Copper based alloys are promising materials for electrical and thermal devices. In this respect, the use of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) allows the realization of 3D complex structures, possibly enhancing the functional performances of such devices. LPBF also induces refined microstructures and build-up of residual stresses, due to the rapid solidifications and high cooling rate. In this work a CuCrZr alloy was manufactured by LPBF and a process feasibility window was defined. The effect of a heat treatment,… Show more
