Article Effects of Strain Rate and Post Processing on Mechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg Alloys(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2026-01-12) Karaveli, K.K.; Bal, B.The mechanical properties of AlSi10Mg alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) were investigated under different strain rates and post-processing conditions, including shot peening (SP) and stress relief (SR). Tensile tests were performed at quasistatic (0.1 s−1) and dynamic (0.015 s−1) strain rates on as-built and post-processed specimens. The results revealed that SP significantly increased the yield strength by 7.10 %, reaching 249.59 MPa, due to the induced compressive residual stresses. However, while SP slightly improved the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) by 0.25 %, it also reduced elongation at break by 18.06 %, indicating a trade-off between strength and ductility. Conversely, SR improved ductility by reducing internal stresses, leading to an elongation at break increase of 574.01 %, with a slight reduction in yield strength. The combination of SP and SR exhibited a synergistic effect, achieving a balance between strength and ductility. Strain rate sensitivity (SRS) analysis indicated that stress-relieved specimens performed better under dynamic loading conditions. These findings highlight the potential of post-processing techniques in tailoring the mechanical behavior of LPBF-produced AlSi10Mg alloys. The balanced properties achieved through combined treatments make this material particularly suitable for high-performance aerospace and automotive applications, where strength and ductility are critical under varying operational conditions. © 2025 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
