Additively manufactured aluminum alloy parts attract extensive applications in various felids. To study the machinability of additively manufactured aluminum alloys, micro-milling experiments were conducted on the additively manufactured AlSi7Mg and AlSi10Mg. By comparing the machinability of Al-Si-Mg aluminum alloys with different Si content, the results show that due to the higher hardness of the AlSi10Mg, the cutting forces are higher than the AlSi7Mg by about 11.8% on average. Due to the increased Si content in additively manufactured Al-Si-Mg aluminum alloys, the surface roughness of AlSi10Mg is 26.9% higher than AlSi7Mg on average. The burr morphology of additively manufactured aluminum alloys in micro-milling can be divided into fence shape and branch shape, which are, respectively, formed by the plastic lateral flow and unseparated chips. The up-milling edge exhibits a greater burr width than the down-milling edge. Due to the better plasticity of AlSi7Mg, the burr width of the down-milling edge is 28.1% larger, and the burr width of the up-milling edge is 10.1% larger than the AlSi10Mg. This research can provide a guideline for the post-machining of additively manufactured aluminum alloys.
增材制造的铝合金零件在各个领域有着广泛的应用。为了研究增材制造铝合金的可加工性,对增材制造的AlSi7Mg和AlSi10Mg进行了微铣削实验。通过比较不同Si含量的Al-Si-Mg铝合金的可加工性,结果表明,由于AlSi10Mg硬度较高,其切削力平均比AlSi7Mg高约11.8%。由于增材制造的Al-Si-Mg铝合金中Si含量增加,AlSi10Mg的表面粗糙度平均比AlSi7Mg高26.9%。增材制造铝合金在微铣削中的毛刺形态可分为栅栏形和分支形,分别由塑性横向流动和未分离切屑形成。顺铣刃的毛刺宽度比逆铣刃大。由于AlSi7Mg的塑性较好,逆铣刃的毛刺宽度比AlSi10Mg大28.1%,顺铣刃的毛刺宽度比AlSi10Mg大10.1%。该研究可为增材制造铝合金的后续加工提供指导。
