Abstract:The hypoeutectic aluminum alloy (AlSi10Mg) is a well-known candidate material used predominantly for its processability and inherent characteristics in metal-based additive manufacturing. Besides, transition metal carbide, such as niobium carbide (NbC), is added to the AlSi10Mg, enhancing its mechanical properties and preferably its wear resistance to the matrix. However, in additive manufacturing, the mixed powder’s flowability is a prerequisite for determining the final properties of the specimens. In this s… 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.
