Abstract
In this study, selectively laser melted AlSi10Mg alloy was subjected to ECAP processing for the first time. Mechanical properties of the ECAP processed samples were compared based on hardness measurement, compression and wear tests. The results showed exceptional synergy of high yield strength ~382 MPa and strain to failure of ~48% of the SLM ECAP processed sample. This sample also offered approximately ~71% higher wear resistance, than an unprocessed one. The proposed novel route expands the opportunities of both technologies to produce materials with exceptional properties.
