  • Publication number: 20190309402
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to various embodiments of aluminum alloy products having fine eutectic-type structures and methods for making the same. The method for producing an aluminum alloy product having a fine eutectic-type structure comprising selectively heating at least a portion of an additive manufacturing feedstock to a temperature above a liquidus temperature of the additive manufacturing feedstock, thereby forming a molten pool; and cooling the molten pool, thereby forming a solidified mass.

  • Publication number: 20190024225
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to new nickel-iron-aluminum-chromium based alloys. Generally, the new alloys contain 20-40 at. % Ni, 15-40 at. % Fe, 5-20 at % Al, and 5-26 at. % Cr, the balance being optional incidental elements and unavoidable impurities. Generally, methods for producing the new alloys include one or more of heating a mixture above its liquidus temperature, then cooling the mixture below its solidus temperature, optionally hot and/or cold working the solid material into a final product form, then heating and quenching the solid material, and precipitation hardening the solid material.
