Damage analysis of Ti6Al4V lattice structures manufactured by electron beam melting process subjected to bending load

High levels of stiffness, strength, and lightweight can be achieved through lattice structures. Many different technologies adopted for their construction; among them, additive manufacturing presents high flexibility the capacity to produce complex shape parts. In this paper, a detailed analysis fracture surface was carried out on titanium sandwich panels, having core produced electron beam melting (EBM) process. The specimens were subjected three-point bending test; then, surfaces observed by means scanning microscope (SEM). occurrence dimples found surface, demonstrating ductile behavior material; moreover, micrographies showed morphology between struts surface.
