The Gibson-Ashby model for additively manufactured metal lattice materials: Its theoretical basis, limitations and new insights from remedies

Haozhang Zhong et al.

Summary: The Gibson-Ashby (G-A) model is essential for designing additively manufactured metal lattice materials. However, it is only applicable to low-density lattice materials with strut length-to-diameter ratios greater than 5. This study reveals fundamental disconnections between the G-A model and additively manufactured metal lattice materials.

The effect of geometric design and materials on section properties of additively manufactured lattice elements

Abduladheem Almalki et al.

Summary: This research proposes a method to characterize the impact of common LB-PBF powders and geometric design parameters on section properties of as-manufactured strut elements. Micro-computed tomography has been applied to algorithmically characterize the variation and identify a scale threshold below which additional geometric resolution does not influence the section properties. This methodology provides a robust and algorithmic design tool for additive manufacturing to characterize the effects of manufacturing and design parameters on the functional response of AM strut elements.

Node-reinforced hollow-strut metal lattice materials for higher strength

J. Noronha et al.

Summary: This study presents a design strategy to improve the strength of hollow-strut metal lattices by applying nodal reinforcement. The proposed designs significantly increased the yield strength and elastic modulus of Ti-6Al-4V cubic lattices, while still maintaining a modest increase in density. Compared to solid-strut Ti-6Al-4V cubic lattices, the reinforced lattices exhibited higher peak stress and exceeded the upper limits of the Gibson-Ashby model for cellular metallic materials.

Superior energy absorption of continuously graded microlattices by electron beam additive manufacturing

Sing Ying Choy et al.

Summary: The study on EBM-produced Ti-6Al-4V functionally graded materials (FGM) found that FGM exhibit progressive layer-by-layer deformation mode regardless of unit cell designs and build direction, making them favorable for uni-directional impact absorption applications. Compared to uniform density counterparts, FGM show superior energy absorption, with further improvement achieved by changing the build direction. Lattice structures with lower relative density have the potential to outperform those with higher relative density by altering unit cell design or density profile.

Fatigue behaviour and biocompatibility of additively manufactured bioactive tantalum graded lattice structures for load-bearing orthopaedic applications

Wenliang Chen et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing of pure tantalum and their graded lattice structures, comparing their microstructure evolution, phase formation, surface energy, and biological properties with conventionally forged pure Ta. LPBF-Ta showed better wettability and enhanced adhesion and proliferation of rat bone marrow stromal cells compared to forged-Ta. Graded gyroid lattice structures of Ta exhibited desired fatigue and biological properties for load-bearing orthopaedic applications, with Y-gradient structures outperforming in plateau stress and compressive modulus.
