Strain rate sensitivity and fracture mechanism of AlSi10Mg parts produced by Selective Laser Melting

Implementation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) parts in the growing applications within the automotive and aerospace industries encourages further investigations of the material behavior under various strain rates, spanning from quasi-static to the high strain rate regimes. Although mechanical properties of AM-Selective Laser Melting (SLM) AlSi10Mg parts under a static regime have been investigated, the strain rate sensitivity of these materials,...
