Fatigue Behavior of Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg: Influence of Size Effect and Mean Stress

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the fatigue behavior of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg under cyclic loading using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) technology. The research addresses two key aspects: the size effect across three distinct geometries, and the influence of mean stress on one geometry under both push-pull and tension-tension loading conditions. The findings provide valuable insights into how geometry and mean stress affect the fatigue resistance of L-PBF AlSi10Mg, contributing to the optimization of additive manufacturing processes for high-performance applications.
