Influence of Electroless Nickel—DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) Multilayer Coating on the Mechanical Performance of the Heat-Treated AlSi10Mg Alloy Produced by Powder Bed Fusion-Laser Beam
Abstract:This study characterizes the mechanical performance of the AlSi10Mg alloy produced by powder bed fusion-laser beam (PBF-LB) subjected to two combined cycles consisting of multilayer coating deposition (electroless nickel (Ni-P) + diamond-like carbon (DLC)) and heat treatment. In particular, the DLC deposition phase replaces the artificial aging step in the T5 and T6 heat treatments, obtaining the following post-production cycles: (i) Ni-P + DLC deposition and (ii) rapid solution (SHTR) (10 min at 510 °C) befor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
