Abstract
Printable high-strength alloys, including aluminum alloys can be produced in an additive manufacturing process. Such alloys can include aluminum-silver ('Al—Ag') alloys that are produced by a laser melting process using a powder bed fusion. The results of the process and the characteristics of the produced alloy can be determined by controlling at least an energy beam power, an energy beam speed, and/or an energy beam size. The operational parameters can be controlled with high precision to produce a printable, high-strength aluminum alloy.
