Laser Powder Bed Fusion Produced Parts, Aluminum Alloy 7A50.60L (A7050-RAM2, composition similar to UNS A97050), Hot Isostatic Pressed and T74 Aged
AMS7071
Material specification for parts produced using 7A50.60L (A7050-RAM2) using the laser powder bed fusion process
Rationale: High strength aluminum alloys are needed for additive manufacturing of aerospace components. 7A50.60L (known as A7050-RAM2 commercially) achieves properties comparable to wrought 7050, commonly used in aerospace applications. To properly control the production and properties of this material, a material specification is needed.
