Abstract: A novel in situ Si and TiB2 co-modified low Sc content Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr aluminum alloy via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has been fabricated. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of Si and TiB2 promoted the formation of a smooth upper surface, refined the grain size, and improved the fluidity of the melt, which enabled the production of a dense LPBF alloy free of cracks and keyholes. The alloy exhibited a bimodal grain structure with Mg2Si, α-Al(Mn,Fe)Si, Al3(Sc,Zr), and AlSi2Sc2 precipitates embedded at the grain boundaries. The yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and elongation of the as-built sample were 282 ± 7 MPa, 316 ± 20 MPa, and 4.5 ± 1.3%, respectively. The strength of the alloy was higher than that of the LPBF Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr matrix alloy. After direct aging treatment of the alloy at 350°C for 2 h, the secondary Al3Sc and AlSi2Sc2 nanoparticles precipitated from the α-Al matrix, achieving a synergistic enhancement in both strength and plasticity with YS of 293 ± 4 MPa, UTS of 325 ± 11 MPa, and elongation of 13.0 ± 3.0%.
