Problems solved by technology

There are many control factors in each link, which increases the difficulty of preparation
[0004] (2) During the smelting process of the traditional method, there are gases and various inclusions in the melt, and the ingot is prone to defects such as pores, inclusions, and cracks, and the microstructures at different positions are greatly different, and the composition segregation is serious, which eventually leads to The performance (strength, plasticity, corrosion resistance, appearance quality, etc.) is reduced
[0005] (3) Traditional production and processing methods cannot manufacture alloy products with complex shapes, and at the same time, the output is low, the cost is high, the yield is low, and the processing cost is high
However, if the traditional Al-Mn alloy is directly used for laser 3D printing, problems such as cracking and poor performance will occur, because there is currently no Al-Mn alloy specially used for 3D printing.
