摘要:
Aluminum-copper-manganese-zirconium alloys for metal additive manufacturing include 5 wt % to 35 wt % copper, 0.05 wt % to 3 wt % manganese, 0.5 wt % to 5 wt % zirconium, 0 wt % to 3 wt % iron, and 0 wt % to less than 1 wt % silicon, with the balance being aluminum. The as-printed alloys may have a microstructure comprising θ′ intermetallic precipitates having an average diameter of 0.1 μm to 0.3 μm, a microstructure comprising θ intermetallic particles having particle spacing of 50-500 nm with a volume fraction of 0-50%; a microstructure comprising a bimodal distribution of equiaxed grains and columnar grains, or any combination thereof. The as-printed alloys may exhibit superior mechanical properties compared to cast alloys with a similar composition.

摘要:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for detecting cracking in a particulate filter. The method may include providing an apparatus comprising an aftertreatment device with a substrate and a substrate surface, a conductive material forming a conduction path bonded to the surface of the substrate surface, and access points configured to allow a resistance measurement of the conduction path. The method may include measuring the resistance of the conduction path, and determining if one or more cracks have occurred on the substrate surface based on the resistance measurement. The method may further include labeling the degradation level of the aftertreatment device based on the indicated amount of cracking, and replacing the aftertreatment device with an equivalent aftertreatment device, based on the degradation level, after a service event.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are embodiments of an aging heat treatment that can be used to replace conventional aging steps when making alloy embodiments of the present disclosure. Embodiments of the disclosed aging heat treatment reduce cost and complexity in producing aluminum alloy-based components while also promoting and/or improving microstructure stability of the aluminum alloys.
