abstract = "ER5356, ER2319 and Zn wires were synchronously fed using a multi-wire gas metal arc directed energy deposition (DED) system. This allowed the successfully fabrication of Al-6.0Zn-2.5Mg-1.5Cu alloy. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the fabricated parts were studied. It is shown that the main precipitated phases are η and nanoscale η'. The upper and lower parts of the deposited parts are composed by coarse equiaxed grains and columnar dendrite structures, respectively. The average microhardness of the fabricated alloy was 118.5 HV. The ultimate tensile strength and elongations in the perpendicular to the building direction (BD) and parallel to the BD were 267 MPa and 2.7 %, 238 MPa and 2.3 %, respectively. The average tensile strength is higher than that of 7075-O alloy. The fracture mode of the samples composed brittle and ductile features, although the former dominated. This multi-wire arc DED approach provides a new choice for the in-situ synthesis of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys.",
