ALUMINUM-MAGNESIUM-LITHIUM-SCANDIUM ALLOYS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240254596 titled 'ALUMINUM-MAGNESIUM-LITHIUM-SCANDIUM ALLOYS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
The abstract of the patent application describes the use of aluminum alloys containing magnesium, lithium, and scandium for additively manufactured articles. These alloys can be provided in various forms such as powders, flakes, wires, and rods for additive manufacturing. Once deposited and built up into the desired shape, the alloys can be heat treated and/or artificially aged to achieve desirable microstructures and mechanical properties.
- Aluminum alloys with magnesium, lithium, and scandium are used for additively manufactured articles.
