Abstract:To provide detailed characteristics on the laser beam melting AlSi7Mg0.6 alloy, transmission electron microscopy is required as the microstructure is composed of aluminum cells hardened by nano-sized precipitates encapsulated in a 3D silicon structure. However, sample preparation techniques can cause local temperature variation or irradiation that impact the local microstructure. With various thin-foil preparations, we have shown that standard twin jet electropolishing produce thin, well-defined aluminum cells… Show more
