Abstract: An aluminum alloy for additive manufacturing in a form of a powder including from 1 to 6% by weight of titanium, from 0.05 to 2% by weight of iron, and from 0.5 to 2.5% by weight of chromium. The aluminum alloy also includes, as a balance, aluminum and production-related impurities.

Abstract: A method for producing a structural component, which has different component sections, from a high-strength alloy material. The structural component to be produced is divided into at least two component sections which differ with respect to their requirement profiles when the structural component is later used, wherein one component section must meet a higher requirement profile with respect to occurring loads, and the at least one other component section must meet a lower requirement profile. In a first production step for producing the component section with the higher requirements, a blank is brought to near-net-shape or net-shape by a massive forming process in some regions.
