Abstract

An aluminum alloy additive manufacturing product and a method manufactures the same. The aluminum alloy additive manufacturing product is formed by molding a raw metal by an additive manufacturing method. The raw metal is made of an aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy contains Fe and one or more of Mn and Cr. The Fe is an inevitable impurity of 0.3 weight % or less. The one or more of Mn and Cr have a total weight of 0.3 to 10 weight %. The aluminum alloy additive manufacturing product contains any one or more of an intermetallic compound and an aluminum alloy solid solution. The intermetallic compound contains two or more of Al, Mn, Fe, and Cr. One or more elements of Mn, Fe, and Cr are dissolved in the aluminum alloy solid solution.
