Surface chemistry investigation of an additively manufactured Al-Mg-Si-Zr alloy: Studies from experiments and first-principles simulation
The surface chemistry of additively manufactured aluminum alloys plays a critical role in corrosion resistance and joining with external materials. In this work, the near-surface elemental composition of a laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) processed Al-Mg-Si-Zr alloy was characterized by glow discharge optical emissio...
