Cover Story: A precipitation-hardening Al2139 alloy doped with additions of Zr and Ti was printed via laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and subsequently exposed to temperatures up to 300 °C. The relationship between performance degradation and changes in material structure was investigated through microhardness monitoring and microstructure analysis. The fully equiaxed fine-grained as-built state exhibits micro-segregations of Cu and Mg at the grain boundaries. They disappeared after the optimized T4 heat treatment, which formed rod-shaped Zr- and Ti-based second phases and quasi-spherical Cu-, Mn-, and Fe-rich particles. High temperature holding leads to the rearrangement and subsequent spheroidization of Cu- and Mg-rich particles at the grain boundaries. View this paper
