A Short and Technical Review on Lattice Structures Produced by Additive Manufacturing

Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM), which has only relatively recently emerged as one of the most significant sectors, is currently the subject of a great number of research investigations. In contrast to machining, additive manufacturing (AM) is a process that involves the division of items into very thin layers, followed by the production of these layers by stacking previous layers atop one another. AM has found new application areas because to the decrease in weight as well as other advantages in a variety of industries including aviation, automotive, and biomedical. In this manner, features that cannot be acquired from solid materials have been disclosed through the utilization of various forms of lattice structures in accordance with the needs of the application. The design factors that impact the compression behavior of body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) type lattice structures, which are the most popular types of lattice structures used in additive manufacturing, were explored in this review work.

Distribution of temperature and residual stresses in GMA-DED based wire-arc additive manufacturing

“…The gas metal arc-based directed energy deposition (GMA-DED) process exhibits a very high deposition rate and negligible material waste compared to other forms of metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes (Alfattni, 2022; Lidong and Alexander, 2016; Riensche et al , 2023). However, it experiences high heat input during the deposition of layers and yields significant residual stress (RS) in the component, which can further cause the distortion of the substrate (Özdemir and Korkmaz, 2023; Williams et al , 2016). For investigating the effect of transient temperature distribution on the thermal RS, researchers are using the finite element method (FEM; Liu et al , 2022; Teker et al , 2022).…”

Determination of cell size/structures and mechanical properties of additively manufactured metallic components using X-ray technique

“…Such complex geometries are mainly realized through additive processes (Korkmaz et al , 2022a). Several terms for complex cellular materials have been used (Özdemir and Korkmaz, 2023), and one of such term is mechanical metamaterials and another is cellular structures or cellular materials (Hedayati et al , 2016). Currently, an increasingly common design approach in additive manufacturing (AM) is associated with using such architecturally complex lattices due to the fact that we reduce material consumption (Alfattni, 2022; Wang and Alexander, 2016).…”
