► The fatigue life of additive manufactured AlSi10Mg is high compared to EN 1706. ► Fatigue limit and static tensile strength significantly correlate with each other. ► Peak-hardening has the most considerable impact on the fatigue resistance. ► Breakthrough cracks start from the surface or subsurfa...
