Abstract Using complex shapes and precise structural parts is becoming a strong trend in modern advanced manufacturing. However, traditional manufacturing technology hardly achieves the complex geometric parts directly. Selective laser melting (SLM) is an advanced manufacturing technology for metallic materials, enables production parts with complex geometry combined with the enhancement of design flexibility. The cooling rate of molten pool can reach 103~106 K/s during the SLM process. In this case, the solid solubility of the alloying elements in the matrix can be greatly enhanced. Aluminum alloy has been widely used in industry. At present, the strength of SLM-formed aluminum alloys is far lower than that of high-strength aluminum alloys obtained from a traditional process. It is necessary to develop high-strength aluminum alloy composition based on SLM technical characteristics. The present study is devoted to design high-strength AlSiMg1.5 aluminum alloy specifically for SLM using the local structure model based on the liquid-solid structural compatibility of the alloy and the technical characteristics of the liquid quenching in SLM. The effect of the ageing treatment on the microstructure, the hardness, and the compressive properties of the SLM-formed AlSiMg1.5 alloy was systematically studied. Almost completely dense samples were obtained by adjusting the parameters of SLM process. When the ageing temperature was 300 ℃, the super-solid solution Si precipitated and grew in the island-like Al-rich structure, and the reticular Si-rich structure decomposed and spheroidized gradually with the increases of ageing time of SLM-formed AlSiMg1.5 samples. In this case, the hardness and the strength of the samples decreased, but the elongation increased significantly. The microstructures of the SLM-formed AlSiMg1.5 samples did not change obviously when the ageing temperature was 150 ℃. But the hardness and yield strength of the samples significantly increased first and then decreased slightly. The maximum microhardness and compressive yield strength of SLM-formed AlSiMg1.5 samples aged at 150 ℃ were (169±1) HV and (453±4) MPa, respectively, and the elongation of samples exceeds 25%. In this study, a special Al91.0Si7.5Mg1.5 (mass fraction, %) aluminum alloy specifically for SLM with excellent formability and mechanical properties was designed.
