Aluminium alloys are standard wise distinguished by their chemical composition into eight different sub groups. In Additive Manufacturing applications a few alloys are already established, e.g. AlSi10Mg and AlSi7Mg0.6.

Aluminium alloy development is required for Additive Manufacturing in order to continuously diversify the available property profiles of alloys for specific application fields.

Besides standard alloys made for mobility technologies (automotive, aerospace, etc) there are specific alloy developments on-going for Additive Manufacturing Technologies.
