A new class of castable cerium strengthened aluminum alloys has phenomenal high temperature properties without the need for heat treatment.
Decreasing microstructural length scales to the nanoscale is a proven way of increasing strength, but intrinsic metastability such structures typically makes them susceptible thermally activated coarsening. Recent advances in additive manufacturing permit bulk-nanostructured materials be produced through rapid solidification, like other metastable as-built coarsen rapidly with even modest thermal exposure. Here, selective laser melting employed produce an Al-Ce-based alloy high mechanical...
Al-Ce-based alloys are promising candidates for additive manufacturing (AM) due to their hot-cracking resistance and because they do not require heat treatment obtain precipitation strengthening. Rapid solidification rates enabled by AM methods can lead enhanced mechanical properties; however, the strengthening mechanisms over large composition ranges were unclear. Here, combinatorial synthesis directed-energy deposition (DED) hardness measurements used rapidly map composition-dependent...
Time-resolved X-ray diffraction enabled mechanistic insight into the aluminothermic reduction of CeO 2 . The environmentally friendly process enables a direct route to Al–Ce alloy production and high-value use for excess Ce from rare earth mining.
