Abstract
The invention relates to a wire made of an aluminum-based alloy for additive manufacturing. In order to be able to create objects with good mechanical properties from a corresponding wire, the wire has (in % by wt.): 2.0% to 6.0% zinc, 3.5% to 7.0% magnesium, optionally up to 1.5% manganese, up to 1.75% copper, up to 1.5% sliver, optionally up to 0.45% zirconium, remainder aluminum and production-related impurities. The invention further relates to a use of a wire of this type and to a process for producing an object by additive manufacturing.
